I guess I’m having trouble with the concept, that my brother in law’s relatives, are my relatives. I didn’t know anyone considered your in law’s family members to be related to you as well.
It usually isn’t worded correctly as it was in this article - stating “by marriage”. You’re right, we wouldn’t consider an inlaw’s relatives to be OUR relatives...
It’s the same thing as saying Newsome is Pelosi’s nephew.
As I understand it, Pelosi’s husband’s brother was married to Newsome’s aunt - at one time. No relation to good old Nance but you’ll still see people claiming a relationship there.
Untangle that!!
