First of all she has to file a case of cruelty u/s 498A and Domestic violence application, against her husband and her inlaws if any.

Thereafter under Domestic violence Act and other acts, she can demand maintenence from her husaband and can also demand to live in the same house and court will restrict her husband and other memebers not to enter in the said portion alloted to your wifes sister and also order for maintenence per month from husband.
