Well, he could have a sister who's married to a non-Korean, so it was a bit ambiguous. |

No, not by the definition of what an in-law is:

| A parent-in-law is a person who has a legal affinity with another by being the parent of the other's spouse. |

Sorry, I was just referring to the brother-in-law part. Yes, you're right about the father-in-law (didn't even really notice it the first time). |

Sorry Julius...should have been clearer for you...
I was refering to my KOREAN in-laws along with my KOREAN wifes' brother and my KOREAN father-in-laws' friends.
I can see why that would confuse you however.... |
