Parveen Bibi confessed before a special court in the city of Lahore to killing her daughter in June for "bringing shame to the family".
Police said 18-year-old Zeenat Rafiq married Hassan Khan and lived with his family a week before she was killed.
The court sentenced Rafiq's brother Anees to life in prison after the evidence showed her mother and brother had first beaten her, before her mother threw kerosene on her and set her on fire.
After Rafiq's murder in a poor district of Lahore, none of her relatives sought to claim her body, police said, leaving her husband's family to bury her charred remains after dark in a graveyard near the city.
