Why are you impersonating me?

Why are you talking to yourself?

The "in-law" tag refers to the marriage contract between you and your partner. Though that contract may involve your partner's parents, it does not involve their siblings and even less so their siblings' children. So, mother-in-law and father-in-law make sense, but saying "my niece-in-law" is plain fucking asinine.

Yes, if you are engaged to a girl who has a sister/brother with a daughter, that would be your niece-in-law until you get married. Then she should officially be your niece.

It's common knowledge... or perhaps you are the kind of person who needs to follow an instruction manual every time you tie your shoelaces? In that case I am terribly sorry that your education system let you down so badly.

Noun
co-brother-in-law (plural co-brothers-in-law)

(uncommon) One's wife's sister's husband; or more generally one's spouse's brother-in-law, the brother of one spouse in relation to the siblings of the other spouse.
(uncommon, in the plural) Men who marry sisters.
(uncommon) One's brother-in-law or sister-in-law's brother; that is, one's sibling's spouse's brother (one's sister's husband's brother or one's brother's wife's brother).
(in the plural) Men whose brother and sister are married to each other.

If the brother marries his sister (Ancient Egyptian tradition) the offspring results in complex sibling relationships that are difficult to digest.

Yes. That is what I said. However I think you'll find I did not conclude from this that brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws don't exist.

@previous (terri !RwordOooFE)
So by your logic: "X does not involve Y" === "Y does not exist". OK.

you plainly said that the in-law relationship doesn't extend to siblings
so "by your logic", siblings-in-law wouldn't exist. ok

Nono, that's your logic. I'm trying to understand the mental gymnastics you must be going through in order to draw that conclusion... but failing.

Here is what I said:
"A doesn't involve B"

Here is what you deduced and then attributed to me:
"That implies B doesn't exist"

Nope, sorry, doesn't make any fucking sense to me. But carry on.

Newsflash to you basement dwelling virgins who have never kissed a girl: when you get married, everyone in your wife's family is an "in-law". Damn mora.
