It's been this huge discussion lately with many many MANY different answers, and i would like to know, If my sister marries a man, am i related to him AND his siblings?

i have no idea....

No you are not related to your brother in laws family. The reason he is your brother in law is because your sister legally married him.

You are welcome. I have to explain to people all the time that my brother in laws sister is not my family, but we treat her like family. Plus I have a friend who married her brother in laws brother. If you were related you could never marry an in laws sibling.

No. You are not related to him OR his siblings. But if you look at it in a different way, we are all related. If Adam and Eve were the first 2 people alive, we are their great great great great great great grea great(and so on) grandchildren. So, if you look at it that way, yes. If you don't, the no. You're not related.
