She can file various cases against her in laws but that would end her marriage.
Ask elders of both families to sit together and sort out differences amicably.

Do not rush up with legal actions against her husband which will be detrimental to her married life and future. If the things are still under control, you may handle the issue with patience or else you may lodge a complaint with the local police for dowry demand and harassment and also under domestic violence act, but see if there are chances for reconciliation.

What is your brother-in-law? Is he working? Government Employee? It appears they are taking advantage of helplessness from your side. Send strong signals, that they will be taken into task by slapping all sorts of cases, if they demand for dowry.
Do not be so hasty. Your sister is having a small kid. What is the future of your sister? Is she working? Who will take financial burden of both? In long period, everybody will be busy with their own lives and own families. Getting her another marriage also will not be that easy. What is the future of the baby?
Try to tackle from all sides. They might not be knowing the consequences, once you resort legal remedy. Make them understand through some known persons.
Divorce is the last resort. In the meanwhile if all doors are closed, slap 498A and maitenance seeking her right to live in matrimonial home. Once the lawyer notices are given, they may come in line.

The cruelty has been done on the adult and not on the infant, hence 498a case. She can file a maintenance case for herself as well as for the infant child too u/s 125 cr.p.c. For a lawyer you may either search for competent lawyers from the LCI data base itself or make a visit to the concerned court complex and find out one suiting to your needs.
