Negative have / has

Is this sentence correct?

"She doesn't have a brother"

I found it in the answer sheet of an exercise, but I thought we should use 'has' in 3rd person singular.

Thanks for any answers.

It is correct. After 'doesn't' the plain form always follows ('have').

None is correct without an initial capital letter and a final full st-top.

She hasn´t a car. - Correct, but rather formal/old-fashioned.
She doesn´t have a car. - Correct, especially in AmE.
She hasn´t got a car. - Correct, especially in all but the most formal BrE.
