Just after her marriage her in-laws started torturing her including the bridegroom. He took heavy dowry and proof of it exists. The physical torture also caused a temporary deafness in one of her ears. The boy just after the marriage he started to behave like virtually an animal. She somehow could manage only 5 months with her-inlaws. She doesn't want to go back as she is afraid that they might do anything. Now she has a daughter and quite happy as prior to marraige with her. That boy is calling her back but she fears that the call is just to save his career so that she doesn't go to police and she fears that anything could be done to her as they are mindless people. What should my friend's family do? Please Advice.

Although this is a fit case to be complaint under section 498A Indian Penal Code, 1960, & section 3 & 4 of The Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, but I shall not suggest those at the moment. The best course for such case is to obtain protection & residence order against the Husband & his other relatives from the 1st class magistrate under The Protection Of Women From Domestic Violence Act, 2005, so that these people need not try to seek more dowry & inflict any physical or mental harassment against this lady, all the evidence with regard to given dowry, medical report with regard to her loss of hearing although temporary, along with witnesses to such cruelty towards here can be used by the lady to get such an order against all of them. The benefit of such order is that these people will be in great trouble & even face imprisonment if they try to inflict any violence against her in future. This is a prohibitory provision that protects any such domestic lady against any domestic violence against her; no punishment is given while issuing such order but if these orders are not followed then there is clear provision for punishment. This the best way for such lady to rejoin her husband after getting such protection & residence orders against him.

Yes she must get divorce but also file a police complaint because abuse of any kind and dowry are crime under IPC.
A police complaint of physical abuse will greatly speed up divorce process. If you have list of items given as dowry Court will also order the groom to return everything along with money spent on marriage.
Consult some good lawyer or contact any women's organization. These organizations have all the information needed and also have volunteer lawyer if you cant afford a lawyer.

This story seems false but if its true dowry is a serious offense and women have very high protection according to new laws.
This story sounds similar to one I had heard from my friend in US except that the girl had married a Muslim boy from Pakistan.
Give the name and source and you can register a complaint , but if its false this question will be reported.

Use responsible person as mediator to ascertaining normal life. Without that wait till the marital equilibrium set in her favour.

You know what, what you have done is not right. First of all you are discussing someone elses problem that too in a public forum. Why do you think her problem is a public problem. If I would have been in place of your friend or your friend's sister, you might have been in trouble. I suggest you deleting this question.
Your friend's sister's problem is her and her family's problem, you can help them if they want to. Don't poke your nose in matters that is not yours and do not bring such sensitive matters to public. I guess you would have got offended but my intention is not to offend you but to warn you against what you are doing.

That depends the girl. If she want to go with the husband, she can. Otherwise she is happy now, continue the same life.

Don't let her go. That's the best thing, and file a complaint at the police station.
