Legal Question in Family Law in India

My friend is hindu,married 1 yr. back.she lives with her husband and inlaws.the house is in inlaws' name.her husband is only son and has one married sister living abroad.
her parents who are quite old and weak are not properly looked after by her brother monetarily & personally.they live alone and need daily support to do even basic things like bathing,eating,changing clothes etc or they easily fall down and get injured.
once a nurse was kept to take care of her parents but she always stole their money.so she was fired.due to high crime rate,servants cant be trusted to take care of them.and relatives are also not cooperative.
so my friend wants to live with her parents to take care of them as she cant bring them to her inlaws' house as it's not owned by her.
when she expressed her idea,her inlaws and husband raised a big hue and cry that her duty after marriage is only towards inlaws;not her parents.she had to bow down as she also wants to save her marriage.but she cant see her parents' condition who dont get food sometimes as they are too old to cook themselves.if she sends them money also her inlaws and husband pass many comments,who are in any case wealthy and in good health.
now what can she do to look after them on a daily basis and also contribute monetarily?will law support her,without breaking her marriage?her old parents' condition has made her very depressed,and she weeps every day because of worry,as they always took very good care of her before marriage,spent so much money on her education.but now when they need her she cant help them.whereas her inlaws also have a daughter who cares for them;but her parents have none.
she said she will not forgive her husband and inlaws if something happens to her parents and that she made a mistake of marrying a boy who lives in a joint family where a daughter inlaw has no say.
please advice how to go about it legally

Avoid litigation; try a peaceful out of court solution; to begin with she may hire help and continuing partly being with her parents.
