Their uncle, Qurban Ali, 53, who was found guilty of conspiracy to rape, was jailed for 10 years.
Associate Karen MacGregor, 59, was jailed for 13 years and Shelley Davies, 40, given an 18 month suspended term.
Brothers ‘were infamous’ in town
Arshid and Basharat Hussain were found guilty at Sheffield Crown Court of 38 offences, including rape, indecent assault, abduction, false imprisonment and making threats to kill.
Bannaras Hussain pleaded guilty to 10 charges before the trial.
MacGregor and Davies were found guilty of false imprisonment and conspiracy to procure a woman under 21 to become a common prostitute. MacGregor was also convicted of two counts of conspiracy to rape.
Most of the charges relate to offences committed against a Rotherham girl who was just 13 when the abuse began in 2003.
One defendant - Ishtiaq Khaliq - was also found guilty of indecently assaulting two other girls aged 14 to 15 between 1999 and 2001.
The men were aged between 17 and 26 years old at the time of the offences.
The judge said Sageer Hussain had conducted “a campaign of violent rape against a 13 year old vulnerable girl”.
She added: “The abuse of the victims was often carefully planned.
“An abuser would build up their trust and it is a common feature of this case that abusers are often described as initially caring and loving but then turning to becoming controlling and domineering”.

Rotherham: eight men jailed for sexually exploiting teenage girls | UK news | The Guardian
Zalgai Ahmadi (45) was jailed for nine years and six months after being part of a gang of men who held a 14-year-old girl against her will at his Munsbrough flat.
He was today (Friday) found guilty of conspiracy to commit sexual assault and false imprisonment and jailed at Sheffield Crown Court.
The court heard Ahmadi, of no fixed address, conspired with Naeem Rafiq (34) and Masoued Malik (32) to sexually exploit the girl at his flat, imprisoned her and took it in turns to indecently assault her.
Rafiq and Malik were convicted following a trial last year for their role
Zalgai Ahmadi
Eight men who sexually abused three teenage girls in Rotherham between 1999 and 2003 have been jailed.
The men are Sageer Hussain, Ishtiaq Khaliq, Waleed Ali, Masoued Malik, Asif Ali, Naeem Rafiq, Basharat Hussain and Mohammed Whied.
They were jailed at Sheffield Crown Court, having been convicted of a total of 16 charges after a trial.
The judge said their victims had been “targeted, sexualised and subjected to degrading and violent acts.”

The offences included rape, indecent assault and false imprisonment.
During a month-long trial one victim said she and her family had been forced to move to Spain to escape the abuse.
Victims were ‘susceptible’
Jailing Sageer Hussain, who was said to be the ringleader, Judge Sarah Wright said he had a “campaign of violent rape” against the vulnerable 13-year-old.
Addressing all eight men she said: “The victim of all eight of you was vulnerable. She was just 13 to 14 years old.
“Although she had a loving and supportive family and was doing well at school, as she was reaching adolescence she was susceptible to the attention that you and others gave her.
“She was targeted, sexualised and subjected to acts of a degrading and violent nature.
“The childhood and adolescence of each of the victims can never be reclaimed.”
One of the victims said she hoped the sentencing would encourage others to come forward.
“I know grooming still goes on but I feel that the help is available now if you speak out,” she said.
“Groomers thrive in the silence of others. Speak out and someone will listen.
“The people who chose to hurt you will be held to account for their actions, no one else, as those who hurt me have found today.”
‘Utterly despicable crimes’
Following the sentencing it can now be revealed that Sageer Hussain’s brothers Arshid and Bannaras were jailed in February in the first Rotherham grooming trial.
Arshid Hussain was found guilty of 23 offences including indecent assault and rape and jailed for 35 years while Bannaras Hussain was jailed for 19 years after admitting 10 charges.
Basharat Hussain was also found guilty at the first trial – of 15 offences, including rape – and jailed for 25 years.
Rotherham MP Sarah Champion said: “I welcome the news that these eight men have been jailed for a total of 96 years for their utterly despicable crimes.
“This sends the strongest signal that we will not stand for the abuse of children.
“I hope today’s sentences bring some closure to the survivors and that they feel justice has been done.”
Speaking outside court Det Ch Insp Martin Tate welcomed the “significant” sentences, saying: “These dangerous sexual offenders are now behind bars where they can cause no further harm.”
Rotherham Council leader Chris Read said the convictions sent a clear message to perpetrators of child abuse that “We don’t want you in our community, you are not welcome, we will track you down and you will be prosecuted.”
