What’s her age?

And why would her reporting sexual abuse result in a divorce?

Your father is right. It’s HER business only.
But you should advise her to report her brother in law to the police — if necessary with the support by an attorney.

More info would be of help, such as what is meant by “practically raped.”

** …she only told me cause she trust me completely…**

Well since she trusts you completely, don’t violate her trust. Maybe you can talk her into going to the police or something else, but don’t do anything against her wishes.
