Legal Question in Family Law in India

My sister marriage held in the year 2009 August when she was 20 years old, she completed graduation in 2010. Her marriage is a arranged marriage. In our relation one person mediated our family and their family and fixed marriage. After her marriage from the immediate next day onwards her husband started blaming her unnecessarily and harrasing with his words and he did not allowed my sister to talk with her parents in phone( We live in two different cities). When my parents went to their house to see my sister they even did not talk to my parents. After some days her in-laws also started harrasing my sister and blaming my parents. My sister husband working as a site engineer in a construction company. He suspects my sister all the time. They did not care about my sister health whenever she fell ill. Their house in located in a village whenever my sister asked him to take her to outing he refused. In the year 2011 june my sister was blessed with a female child and her husband came by our request, delivery took place in her parents house. He showed his dis satisfaction towards female child and returned back to his home. Since June 2011 neither he or her in-laws came to see her or the newly born baby. Even he is not paying even single rupee to my sister for baby care since last year june and he also stopped making phone calls. Recently he sent a lawer's notice stating that he is having love towards his wife and child and he is asking to take them with him and filled with many other false statements and finally stated if my sister interested to live with him then she should go to her in-laws house by her own. under this circumstances is it good if my sister go to her in-laws house with her baby as my sister also wanted to live with him because of her baby but not her in-laws house. Please suggest what are the legal actions we can able to take against him and her in-laws in order to save my sister and her baby life. We want she would live with her husband happily with their baby. Please suggest what are the legal remedies which are available for my sister.

If she doesn't want to cohabit with her husband any more she can issue notice thru an advocate and file petition for Divorce, complaint u/s 498a IPC, and complaint under DV Act. But if she wants to continue than try to settle amicably the dispute instead of going for any litigation.
