A.Ma'am it is as simple as that, you do not need to worry.
The wife of your brother in law cannot do anything to you.
Also, adultery is de-criminalised so it cannot have any penal punishments.
However, the wife of your brother in law can at maximum take divorce from her husband on the grounds of adultery.
Also, as you said that your husband is supporting you. There is no need to worry.
Thanks

Your brother in law cannot file a case against you as he himself was the wrongdoer and hence cannot blame you. As for the wife of the brother in law she can at maximum file a divorce case against her husband and a Domestic Violence case.
Thanks

A.though your relationship with the man (Brother in law) was a bilateral agreement yet unethical, but not an offense.
indulge in an extra-marital affair is no crime and as your husband is supporting you, nothing much to worry. she can't make any complaint in the police/Court. however, she can file divorce from her husband (your BIL) on the ground of adultery.

Have you ever involved physically with him?

You can file a complaint of forceful sexual harassment, mental/emotional abuse, beatings, blackmail, etc against your brother in law, but, I advise you to settle the matter with the help of elders of the family.
once you initiate legal action against your BIL, you can't back go.

Yes my family members are trying to resolve it peacefully but my sister in law is not a mature lady so she is only blaming me .But truth is that my brother in law trapped me n I tried several times to break this relation but was unsuccessful. So how I can stop her mouth or tell me any case that I can file against both?
