Firstly, your sister in law does not have any right on the mangalsutra which originally belonged to your grandmother and carried forward to your mother. Your mother can file a suit for injunction against her son and daughter in law seeking permanent injunction against them from entering her house and disturbing her mental peace. if your mother is a senior citizen, she can also file a case of harassment and torture against your brother and his wife. Furthermore, she can make a WILL or GIFT in favour of you and your sister of all her assets for safeguarding the properties held by her.
