In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

A married woman can have intercourse only with her husband. It is haram for a married woman to have intercourse with any other person even though he is the husband’s relative. That will be zina and a major sin. In an Islamic country, such a sin in punishable by death.
