"In-law" means by marriage, not by birth. What are they if the couple never have children?
What is your cousin's spouse if not your cousin-in-law? [/quote
Indeed, what else? but your cousin-in-law?
I find this really interesting in America (or Western Society) whereas the
Jewish conversation above was quite important,if for nothing else in a
nomadic society, having plenty of "cousins" to defend the tribe. Witness
Abraham and his 318 retainers. (Genesis 14:14)
