A wife is entitled to live in her husband's house with dignity and without any mental or physical harassment. However if there is any cruelty on behalf of husband or his relatives then you or your sister can file a complaint under domestic violence act.

Your sister must not accept this behaviour at all and should expeess her rejection to them, first politely and clearly. If situation doesn't change, she must approach the nearby mahila thana and file a complaint. Contact me for details.
