if your female friend is facing forcefull sexual intercource than tell her that she can go to court or police station for complaint. she can also submit petition for devorce on this ground. she can ask separation from court andduring that period if her husband comes and force for sex than she can file comlaint in non bailable offence

As we do not have any provisions for marital rape in the Indian law, you can still file a case against your in-laws under Domestic Violence Act - section 3. And file for divorce on the grounds of cruelty under Hindu Marriage.
