No, if the new property is not registered under your name then you can not claim capital gain exemption.

No, there are case laws where new property is invested jointly in the name of Assessee and his wife or in the name of wife alone and exemption is allowed u/s 54F/54. But no such case where exemption is allowed when new house property is in the name of spouse of brother.
