Is a brother-in-law mahram or not?
No; a brother-in-law is not a mahram for the wife, so modesty (awrah) and the limits of interaction must still be observed.
The Prophet ﷺ gave a stern warning about in-laws, saying that the in-law is death, because his close position in the family makes temptation easier. A wife may not be alone (khalwat) with her brother-in-law and must cover her awrah in front of him. The same applies to a husband with his sisters-in-law. This matters when living in the same house as the extended family. See Mahram.
