No need to worry, immediately file a domestic violence case against her by your mother before the magistrate court and claim protection and compensation.
Later on if she is not in the mood of amicably settlement then fight the case on merit if she filed any.
Feel free to call
1. If both your brother and his wife are adamant then not much can be done.
2.it is true if she fiels any case then she can incorporate your names. However this prospect is not of much concern since in such cases getting bailis very easy and o0nce that is done you have nothing to worry about anything including job.
3.if she threatens you then lodge complaint with local police on this issue.
1) you dont have to agree to her demands
2) it is husband responsibility to maintain his wife
3)if house is in your parents name they should seek an injunction restraining son and daughter in law from disturbing their possession of the house
4) under no circumstances should your father agree to give flat in daughter in law name
you should file a case under section 384 IPC for blackmailing, if she files any false case then you can take defence and struck down her case on the ground that you have already filed a case after receiving blackmailing threats.
in arnesh kumar case the supreme court has held that criminal case against in-laws cannot be sustain and it should be quashed if it is filed by mala fide intention to settle matrimonial disputed by giving threats to file criminal case.
Your brother should not become a victim due to fear psychosis by accepting her demand.
If she is threatening to file false dowry harassment cases, ask her to go ahead and he can challenge the same by first obtaining anticipatory bail.
Do not every budge to any pressure and if he does not want to file divorce case, he should challenge her divorce case properly as per law.

The legal advise in this is;
Stop arranging meeting for reconciliations through elders because if she is not willing to accept any proposal from your side, it will be an insult to the elders involving in the reconciliation process.
Remain silent for all her provocations and watch the developments.
Do not start any legal action from your side first so that she should not rush upto to police with criminal case agaisnt you people.
