My sister and her husband harassing, threatening my dad for property
Dear Sir/Madam, My dad is retired employee and a senior citizen. My mother committed suicide in the year 1998 objecting my sister's marriage with person A. But my sister pressurized and out of compulsion, she is the only daughter, my dad accepted the marriage with person A. She got married in the year 1999 and as part of marriage formalities, my father agreed to pay them around 2.5lks. Initially, he paid 1lk and later fixed deposited remaining amount. Later, my dad got married to another lady who is my brother-in-law's relative in the year 2001. This, my sister's in-laws and her husband didn't like and lot of disturbances within the family and they demanded for more dowry. To pacify them, my father registered a piece of land on my sister's name. then my sister got blessed with a girl. In year 2002, disturbances broke between my brother-in-law and his parents over a newly constructed house. My brother-in-law claims he constructed the house with dowry amount, my brother-in-law's father says he build it ( the piece of land actually belongs to him only). Again my father intervened and gave some amount to pacify them.
In the year 2004, my brother-in-law started an illegal affair with one of his relative(person B) and disturbances arised between my sister and him. Person B's parents came to my sister's house and threatened them over illegal relation of my brother-in-law with person B. my brother-in-law didn't stop this and it aggravated and in 2005, she came back to my parent's home. After lot of mediations, settlements, my sister decided to stay back with my brother-in-law. Even then, every now and then lot of disturbances between them and my father suffered a lot. He attacked with mild paralysis stroke and got admitted to hospital. My brother-in-law never came back to our house.
In Feb 2012, when I was getting married and out of social compulsion, my father invited them to our house and he participated in the function and created lot of nuisance. My brother-in-law daughter is getting older and in July 2012 there was a half-saree function of my niece. Even at the function, he argued with my parents for money etc. All of sudden, just two days after my niece's function, he left the house and eloped with person B(who got married with another guy). We were all shocked.
We have registered a police complained, he was taken to custody got released on bail. Out of pressure from her in-laws and thinking about her daughter, after lot of mediations, my sister withdrew the complaint and he is back home and she went to his home. His hatred towards us escalated after this incident and it's growing day by day.
Again from last 15 days, things are so disturbing and he is calling our parents to take our sister home. He don't want to live with him and abusing my parents like anything. My mom went to his home to talk, he abused him a lot.
Please advice us sir/madam, what can be done in this situation. my brother-in-law says he dont want my sister. My niece says she wants both mom and dad. for the last 15 years, we have been suffering with lot of tensions, abuses, and threats. what can be done?

Sir, my brother-in-law wants to damage our reputation. His intention is that, we file a divorce case and he wants to drag it to the way that my sister only harassed him and she is not a obedient wife. Ofcourse, my dad always maintained settlement papers with elders and earlier mutual agreements between my sister and her husband. He threatens my parents that he will come and stay in their house as their son-in-law and abuses them and says, do what you do like that. What if my sister doesn't want to file a case, what can be done by my parents or me as her brother to completely away from this nonsence for years. Please advice and help us sir, my dad who already had a paralysis stroke earlier and is again feeling very tensed these days.

Sir, we are really disturbed for many years and now my parents don't have any more confidence that these disturbances will not erupt again. As parents they don't want to go for further mediation or settlements with the guy and asking my sister to apply for divorce. Sir, please advice, what can be done if my sister resists to apply for divorce thinking of her daughter?? How can we approach this case? I have mobile recordings of my brother-in-law abusing our family, will they be any useful?
