Then he himself told that he meanwhile developed an illegal relationship with his brothers wife to save himself before that lady reveals and then our elders discussed on this and sent my sister and her husband to live in my mother's house. But he tortured her by beating abusing so on even serially also he harassed her in his brothers wife's memories. He started to say even to my mother that he will again go to his brothers wife. But even his in laws also wanted to hide all these and so started to say everyone that our sister is torturing him by doubting.he left her 7 times and for the last time on 25th January 2016. But now he sent a legal notice saying he's very good person but my sister is doubting him. And my mother is not sending her. what should we do now. we don't have any support.

Hi
Your sister should go to the police station and file a 498A and domestic violence case against the husband in the nearest police station. Once police picks him up all truth will come out. No worries. your mother is doing the right thing as your brother in law seems to be a psychopath and mental.
