Respected sir... 

There are two things one is that in which you have to convince her to be normal and second to take legal action against him... But there is loop hole that your relationship will be distributed... Make your mind clear and then take action in legal action you must have to lodge FIR against him...

Your sister should record the calls and lodge an FIR for criminal intimidation against her husband immediately. 

Ask your sister to break all contacts with him and don't let him know about her whereabouts.
