divorce petition cannot be filed unless period of 1 year has elapsed from date of marriage . it is only in exceptional circumstances can petition be filed within period of 1 year

1. Try to find out and resolve the root cause of alleged harassment of your sister by her husband.
2. Engage some counselor, elders and/or relatives to resolve/reconcile the matter amicably.
3. Although the petition for divorce can be filed but its repercussions will be damaging and destructive which shall be irreparable.
4. Consult and engage a prudent local lawyer for proper guidance and proceeding.
