Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

My sister got married to a person who is suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia. The boys parents concealed the truth from us and it is an arranged marriage. After 1 year my sister told us the truth that he never touched her and his behaviour is different. When we went to find about this they were telling that the boy is normal and atlast they came to a doctor where the doctor told that he is suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia. We went to ask them that we want out of court settlement and do justice to the girl as they spoiled her life and asked them to pay 50 lakhs because my sister is not educated and my father passed away there is no source for money to support her life,but they didnt agreed to it and then we filed a case in police station but still F.I.R is not filed . In the mean time the boy applied for anticipatory bail but it got rejected and now the whole family escaped . Nobody knows where they are gone, Can you please let me know how can we proceed further as we dont want to file a case in court because it will take years. Please help me and save my sister's life.

You have not disclosed the basis of demanding fifty lacs. You may seek registeration of a criminal case for return of istridhan and fraud; besides, you may demand maintenance support as per standard of living of the husband. In case they are not coming forward for a compromise, you may have to resort to litigation starting first by seeking their criminal prosecution; followed by maintenance and divorce.
