Yes...especially if you have children from the husband and that needs to be continued for their sake. As with any inlaws relationships....if you love them, hold on for a while until you find a new family. If you hate them....stay the same but edge out of their lives.
When you marry...you take on their name (usually) and family pride....that doesnt disappear just because the link does...or it shouldnt...because you love who you love and hope that acceptance carries on forever. Your name is in their family history now (ancestral line)...that is what being married, as opposed to gf or defacto, is all about. In the eyes of God or legally...you are now a family with his relatives as well. He made a choice to love you for the rest of his life....so you are like family to them now for as long as you choose to be.

Yes, in my opinion, they would still by my in-laws. They would always have a special place in my heart because they are the parents of the man I loved and married. If I remarried I would call them my former in-laws, never my ex-in-laws. Ex-in laws implies a divorce took place.
My ex-husband died without being remarried and his parents still refer to me as their daughter-in-law even though I am remarried. I think it all depends on the relationship you had and how you plan to continue it. For the kids sake, I have continued a loving relationship with the entire family.

My first husbands family came at me with lawyers about 2 weeks after his death demanding the children or rights of access this was before anyone had time to draw breath or say anything about access. It had not been my intention to stop the children or myself seeing them but they became so aggressive towards me and even had it put in the local paper that they should have the children. We had to go through years of court and the children seeing court officials for reports,
I am a good mum and no one could prove otherwise, but they decided that what the grandparents where putting the children through was child abuse of sorts. and stopped them access and eventually due to the nature of their letters they had to stop writing as well.
So your in-laws could become your out laws like mine did.

Until they decide that you have to sell everything to give money to Adult children from a previous relationship too bad it would leave you out on the streets.

In the event of death yes you in laws remain, this is good depending on which view you take.
when you marry then you lose them unfortunately depending on how you look at it.

Yes. Because there is now that special bond between you that no one can take from you.
