The sister's husband - who is this?

So, my sister's husband ... Who is this? What does he have to do with each of his relatives? To be easier to understand, you need to understand the relationship as a whole. Oh, these numerous family ties! Being born, a person, of course, quickly remembers the people closest to him - there is a mom and dad, a grandmother and a grandfather. Well, another brother or sister, yes, perhaps, my aunt and uncle.

Good for everyone

As we grow, of course, the circle of our relatives also expands. Has married - this means that she has acquired a father-in-law and mother-in-law. I got married and got my mother-in-law and father-in-law. When the niece played a wedding, who is her husband now? And her husband's sister? Who is this? What kind of relative? My mother's cousin came to visit - in what way are you related to him? The husband of the mother's sister - what kind of kinsman? Just the head is spinning! Is it possible to remember everything ?!

As Woland used to say in the immortal work of M. A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita", questions of blood are the most difficult questions in the world. With these numerous branches and branches of the ancestral tree, we will try to figure it out today.

The sister's husband is who? What does he have to every relative?

So, the sister got married. The wedding has died down. Having danced the last dance and having drunk on the staff, the drunken guests, of course, also parted. And then, late at night, "only the closest ones" remained at the table. Relatives clearly increased, and since you now have to often meet on family holidays, it would be nice to find out who is who they are.

Numerous family connections

So, my sister's husband ... Who is he and who will he become for you now? In his face, from now on, you have acquired a son-in-law. And all husbands of siblings, seniors or juniors, will be your brother-in-law. But his son-in-law got a sister-in-law - that's what his wife's sister is called . And brother-in-law is his wife's brother.

The parents of the young became to each other, of course, matchmakers. Until recently, the bride, and now the husband's wife, also received a new relative - the brother-in-law. This is the name of the husband's brother. And if he also has a sister, then in relation to his wife she will be a sister-in-law. Mother of husband acquired a daughter-in-law, and the father - a daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law now has second parents, they are called father-in-law and mother-in-law. His wife's parents had a son-in-law, and he, of course, had a beloved mother-in-law and father-in-law. It turns out that the husband will be son-in-law to almost all married relatives - and mother and father, and sister and brother. This can be easily remembered.

When the sister, who has married, gives birth to a daughter, she will become your niece, and the sister's son - a nephew. In turn, the mother of the mother will be a child, of course, her uncle, and her sister, respectively, will have an aunt. When the daughter and son will appear with you, your sister's children will be a cousin and a brother (or cousin and cousin). When you christen the children, they will have a godmother and godfather who, with respect to you and each other, will be cronies.

So, what the rest of the family has to do with her sister's husband, we sorted it out. And, perhaps, the question of who this is, already seems just childish in comparison with the other intricate links of related chains. But there are also stepchildren and stepdaughters, grandnephews, cousins grandparents, second cousins ...
