Doubt in Relationship
How should a wife call her husband's brother's wife?
Should it be sister-in-law, some one told me it is co-sister. Is that correct?
Thanks

sister-in-law I've never heard the term "co-sister". If you said that word, I would not know what you were talking about.

I don't think there is a word for this particular relationship.
I think most people would say 'my husband's sister-in-law' if they wanted to make the relationship very clear, or possible 'sister-in-law' if they were not worried about being too precise, as this really implies that this is the husband's sister.
