I am brother to a bride whose four years of marriage has been marred with unhealthy relationship of ill-treatment and isolation from family members.
Father passed away in april 2014.Sister is staying with us for now along with my mother.For reasons not known sister has soft corner for her husband, She wants to go back to her husbands,Husband says he is not economically strong to take care of my sister, he has asked for financial help from parents several times but dad and mom decided not to help him as he is not a good person and married my sister only for money, At the time of marriage BIL was working in NAL and has subsequently quit the job and decided to stay jobless till we give him dowry. we don't mind taking care of sister for the rest of her life, but want to ensure he doesn't disturb my sister again.
My question is can we file a case against him for not taking care of wife and abandoning her?, My sister says she will not support us if we take a legal route as she still thinks that her husband will turn out to be a good person eventually.
kindly suggest.

it makes no sense in filing case against your BIl if your own sister is not interested in doing so . it is ultimately her evidence that will be considered in the case and reliefs granted by the court

Thanks for replying, So what is the next best thing we can do?I can't abandon my sister like the way he did.Can the local police or any law enforcing agency ensure that he either he takes care of my sister or files for a divorce?

your sister can file application for maintenance from her husband . convince her to do so . she need not divorce her husband but he is bound to maintain her
