You can neither punish your brother in law nor that lady legally. A man can be punished for adultry, but the complaint should be filed by the husband of his girl friend. Also a woman cannot be punished for the offence of adultry. So, the only remedy against him is to file for divorce on the ground of adultry.

I agree with my friend archana. Don't forget one thing.. If your sister filed her divorce petition on the grounds of adultry mean, the burden of proof is your sister's..
