Your example is a bit confusing (to me), but according to the title, co-brother-in-law (noun) is what you're looking for.

Co-brother-in-law:
(Uncommon) One's wife's sister's husband; or more generally one's spouse's brother-in-law, the brother of one spouse in relation to the siblings of the other spouse. [Wikitionary]

Co-brothers-in-law: Men who marry sisters.
