What do you call your sister-in-law’s family members?
JLDuffy asked:
I am close with my brother’s wife and the rest of her family but I have trouble when I try to describe our familial relationship to other people. Is there a term for the parents and siblings of your sister-in-law? What about the siblings’ spouses?

You can introduce them as, ” My sister in laws mother, Sally”. I know of no term for this.

Just call them In-laws of the family when introducing them …any further description of your relationship can be done later when talking privately to your friends.
