if property is in name of 3 daughters what is the problem ? the other 2 daughters cannot without your wife signature sell the house.

if other 2 daughters are not agreeable to relinquish right on house i n favour of your son you cant force them

You are confusing.In the beginning you said that the house is in the name of three sisters and MIL and that your wife has no brothers,but then you say that you have over smart brothers in law.Any way,your wife has equal share in the property and so no one can sell her right without her consent and no one can force her to evict the house.If your other sisters in law give consent get relinquishment deed in favour of your wife..

Agree with Expert Niranjan.
Since the three sisters have equal shares and the property is undivided, nobody from the three sisters can sell the property with the consent of other sisters.
Your sisters in law can sell their share only after partition of the property.
