hello... as per the provisions of gift tax as per i.t.act....any amount of gift received from a relative as defined by the act is exempt from tax.
in the given case your sister is a relative as defined by the act, hence her receiveng the gift from you is exempt in her hands...
note. her marital status is not relevant for this provision as long as she is your relative.
