In such case you have to prove that both the marriages. But you cannot lodge a complaint against your sister. That is a first marriage to your wife and the case of Bigamy will not attract against her. At the same time your sister's husband's first wife can lodge a complaint for Bigamy against her husband.

Second wife's brother cannot file a bigamy case against the people who married during the subsistence of the previous marriage and the spouse is living
Please remember the fact that this situation is in no way going to affect you in any manner hence legally you cannot sue your sister or your brother in law for bigamy offence.
