As per Hindu sucssession Act daughter and son both have equal rights in father's property in case no will exists .it doesn't matter sister is married or not . But if your father made will regarding the property and reason of not giving share to daughters then it is ok,now both of you have equal rights.

As per the law, all the properties belonging to the father, including immovable as well as movable, are subject to inheritance in equal shares between the son and daughters provided there is no Will. Further, sisters being married or not, is immaterial for the sisters to claim their share in the properties belonging to her father. In such a situation the sisters will have to file a suit for partition in the court for claiming their right in the property.

Answer to it can be given after having detailed discussion as more facts are required to see whether or not sisters have share in the property. Secondly if sisters have right and brother is not willing to give then take legal recourse. You may contact through this site if so desire.
