You cannot claim your borther-in-law as a dependant simply because he is your brother-in-law.
However, in most cases, if you provide more than 50% of his support in terms of housing, food, medical care, etc., you can claim him or anyone else you so support as a dependent.
Read the tax code carefully and it would probably be a good idea to consult a tax attorney or accountant.
