If your brother-in-law is already married and planning to marry another woman, it is illegal under Hindu Marriage Act and is considered bigamy, a punishable offence. Your sister can file a police complaint and seek protection, as well as claim maintenance and custody for her children. A family lawyer can guide her further.
