When we get married, sometimes we do not even understand,how much we push the boundaries of our family. Not only new family members, such as mother-in-law, father-in-law (husband of parents), mother-in-law and father-in-law (parents' wives), and other close relatives, such as sister's husband or brother's wife, children of sisters, brothers, If you, like me, have pondered over what I am the husband of my husband's sister, the following explanation will be of interest to you.

Let's think logically: the sister of the husband in the people is called "sister-in-law", and the husband of your sister, daughter or sister-in-law is called "son-in-law". Thus, it turns out that you should call this person a son-in-law, although you can also refer to him as a "brother-in-law". The bottom line is that the brother-in-law is the husband of the brother-in-law, that is, the husband of your wife's sister. However, in modern society it is perfectly permissible to call the husband of your husband's sister (your wife) a brother-in-law. Thus, we involuntarily answered one more question about kinship, who the sister's husband is to his brother.

As a result, in order not to be confused in this kind of family ties, call such relatives as brothers-in-law, so everyone will understand.
