I'm a different person and this may not apply, but if it does, cool.

I'm the type of guy that hates airing my dirty laundry. My advise, is just to be there for your sister and that's it. If she needs money, give her some. If she needs a place to stay, take her in. If she wants to vent, be her sounding board. If she wants to cry, give her your shoulder.

But unless she's specifically asking you to interfere, I would just leave them alone with their business. I personally hate families who think that just because I have a relationship with one of their family members means that by proxy, I'm dating all her family members a well; and also subject to their consequence.

Just be there for her but leave the couple alone to sort their relationship out. Usually I find third party meddling only helps to complicate things more rather than fix things.

So yeah, don't force the couple to air out their dirty laundry in front of your entire family. Yeah the bias will probably be on your sister's favor, but because of it, you (or your family) will just further the husband's resentment and further the friction between the couple.
