Your brother can get rid of his marriage by filing for divorce. You have stated that she has extra marital relations, if that is true then your brother can file for divorce on the ground of her infidelity. Did your brother and his wife convert legally to Islam? If a legally valid conversion took place then your brother may exercise the rights available to a muslim man. A lot will depend on the validity of conversion.

It is incomprehensible for me as to how they could legally marry according to Hindu rites and rituals when they were muslims, more so when they had not made any legal renunciation of their religion. Whether the marriage was registered? If it was registered then your brother may file for divorce as registration engraves the seal of validity to a marriage in certain situations. She has the right to file a FIR in such a case against your brother.
