Suggestion. Move away. Far. Nothing cures family bullshit like miles.
You didn't say one way or the other but I'm hoping that your spouse doesn't put you in the middle of any of that or that you don't get drawn into it.
As far as nephew beating his wife, don't confront the guy - he'll just beat her more under the pretense that she told someone he was beating her. She needs the courage to leave him and stay left - focus your effort there - others feel free to disagree, amend or append this advice. All I know is that confrontation just makes it worse for the victim. However tempting it might be, it's not the answer.
Good luck and, if nothing else, just take some satisfaction that your relationship and present/future family is not as afflicted. Given the environment I grew up in I decided long ago that if I accomplished nothing else with my life, I would at least break the chain of violence in my family tree. I take much personal pride in having done that.
Tending your own garden well is the ultimate response.
