It is very clear from your statement that the property bought by your father in law out of his funds

Mother in law cannot claim absolute ownership and the same time your wife also has no absolute ownership

The property has to be divided among legal heirs

Without your wife sign the sale deed will not be happened

As per your statement the property was a self acquired property of your father in law and he can give it to anybody by a will. Find out whether he made any will . If no will is made then the legal heirs will get equal share and it includes your wife ,her sisters and your mother in law .

It is not stated whether you hold copy of any document evidencing your wife's title over the property. It is not clear if your father-in-law gifted the property to your wife. Apply for a certified copy of the document and also EC for the relevant period from the SRO and verify these facts, first.
