first of all in such relationship one need not jump to conclusions. The most important point is what your sister want. whether or not she is happy with her husband, is a very personal question. she must decide based on her experience whether she want divorce or not. Please, do let her decide that. Your sister may speak to her husband if he is ready and willing to mend his ways. Not that you would ask that. One may try through pre-litigation mediation, be it may through Police or through state government. Some high courts have provision for pre-litigation mediation. But if she has decided to divorce her husband, then she may ask for divorce on the grounds she has experienced. If she decides to go back, she may file for restitution of conjugal rights. She want maintainance, she may file a petition for that. So let it be left to her as to what she wants. She may consult a lawyer as to what is the status and seek guidance.
