No. If his sister is married (to a man), he has a brother in law.

Any person can have a brother in-law if they have a sibling that is married. For example, my sisters husband is my brother in-law. This makes no difference if I am married or not.

You said he has a brother-in-law and then you ask if he has to be married to have one. No, if he has a married sister then her husband is his brother-in-law. I would recommend you not put your email address out for the world to see.

No, he doesn't have to be married. I'm not married yet, but I have a brother in law. My sister's husband is my brother in law.

If your boyfriend has a brother or sister that is married, the person they are married to would be their in-law; brother-in-law or sister-in-law.
Example:
Your boyfriends sister is married. The person she is married to would be his brother-in-law

no he doesn't - a brother in law is either the brother of your spouse OR the spouse of one of your sisters. So, if he is single and has a brother-in-law that would mean he has a sister who is married.

Your boyfriend has a brother-in-law because his sister must be married and her husband in the brother-in-law. Your boyfriend does not have to be married to accumulate in-laws.

No, your boyfriend does not have to be married to have a brother-in-law. But, to be one his sister(s) is/are married and her/their husband(s) will be his brother-in-law(s). HTH.
