This sentence has a problem. It uses two different ways to
indicate possessive at the same time.
{be'nI'wI' loDnal} by itself means "my sister's husband."
{loDnalDaj} by itself means "her husband." Putting them
together is redundant. It's easy to figure out what you
meant to say, but it's not grammatical.
