hi
in this case it is advisable that your sister should get protection from the court by filing an application under domestic violence act
wherein along with the protection from harassment she can also claim residential rights, monetory relief etc. if incidences are too serious then she must approach police station for filing an FIR under 498a of IPC

It is extremely unfair that the family of the victim herself is not coming forward and not reporting the crime that is being committed. You must immediately take a stand and report the incident to the police and also initiate Domestic Violence proceedings in order to secure the interest of the victim lady and not subject he to further cruelty!
