According to our law the boy will stay with his mother till he attains age of seven. If the husband force your sister-in-law and try to take the boy away from her then you should file a suit for the custody of the boy. When the boy come to the age of 7 or more and it seems that his father is unfit/incompetent for the upbringing of the boy then at that point you might think of filing a suit for custody.
I don't understand how adoption or guardianship comes in here, as long as the father or mother of the child is alive he/she will be the legal guardian of the child.
