You can advice her to obtain a protection order under D.V Act. She should contact the protection officer of her area or can file a petition in the court of Ilaqa Magistrate for relief under D.V.Act.

DV Act is a full proof law for eradication of all such problems. Better to engage a local lawyer and move ahead filing for medical treatment, residential house, maintenance, protection etc.
