You are your husband's wife.

In those cultures that permit a man to have more than one wife at the same time, the English language usually uses the term "sister-wife" for the relationship between the two (or more) wives of one man.

If you don't want to use the term husband or wife, each of which imply the sex of the person, you can use the term spouse, which refers to ones marriage partner without implying their sex.

You don't do that. Women are refered to by their own last names, the last names of their husbands, or a hypenated amalgamation of both. Men though, are invariably known by their own last names, and no marital status changes that.

Such few exceptions as may exist would be rare, and counter to the cultural norm.

If you know her name, then you can call her that. If you don't, and you are with her, you might want to introduce yourself and thereby gain that knowledge.

If you are not with her, and need to refer to her, then it is acceptable to refer to her as ____'s wife.

The exception is with some women who prefer to be called by their husband's name, as in "Mrs. David Johnson." This practice is diminishing, but you can't know this preference ahead of time, so if you are worried about possible offense, you could try calling the woman by her last name or "Ms. _____" until you find out whether she prefers her first name. If a woman requests that you call her by her first name, then do it.

Oh, and in the Southern US you might want to start with "Ma'am" before trying a first name... although don't do this in the Western US, or the woman might think you are mocking her.

Your wife's family are your "in-laws."

Her brothers are your "brothers-in-law," her sisters are your "sisters-in-law", her mother is your "mother-in-law," her father is your "father-in-law," and collectively, her parents are your "parents-in law." However, the use of the suffux "-in-law" does not extend to more distant relatives of your wife, who are not considered to be related to you.
