Here it has been used as a term of abuse
A wife can't call her husband as sala in the sense of brother in law.
In fact, this word is also used as an abuse.

साला (saala)
In day to day talk and in literature, it is also a vituperation or abuse commonly used very casually and it is taken from the relationship i.e. wife's brother.
Example sentence:
1. अबे साले! 2. साला कहीं का।

Wife's brother
Wife's brother called sala (brother-in-law). But in Indian context it is mostly used in anger and/or like abuse.
