<<I think the idea is that in (canon?) law your e.g. parents-in-law have the same relationship to you as your own parents for the rules about who you can and can't marry..

According to the Oxford Dictionary of Law, this has been possible in England since 1986, provided that both your wife and her father are dead. Divorce doesn't count for these purposes. A priest can refuse to marry you and your mother-in-law but you can have a civil marriage.

civil marriage
Then does the term "Sybil marriage" refer to bigamy, or rather to the marriage (which of-troy suggested is ideal) in which he'll never see-'er?

<<A priest can refuse to marry you
Bless you, Bingley! Let me see if I understand you aright; a priest can refuse to marry me, but my mother-in-law cannot?

No,no. A priest can refuse to marry both of you.

A priest can refuse to marry both of you.Bingley, if I take your sense aright, A priest, being celibate, would refuse to marry each of you.   To marry both would be bigamy.
