Because she is also my sister-in-law because her sister is my brother's wife. Plus when my brother and his wife(my sister-in-law) have kids, me and my sister-in-law's sister will have the same nieces and nephews.
That also means me and my brother will have the same mother-in-law and father-in-law. My sister-in-law's parents are like my aunt and uncle. My parents and their parents are very close and we visit alot. When I told my sister-in-law that I like her sister she laughed and said you "can't marry your own sister-in-law". For your information we are Afghans, and for us Afghans there is a real word for aunt-in-law and uncle-in-law wich also means there are cousin-in-laws. So we are already related by marriage but it will just look wierd. My sister-in-law's sister is like my sister and treates my like a brother and I treat her like a sister. I do not know if she is considered my sister-in-law too is she? Because in the Afghan way she is.

Guys, the thing is that my brother is already married to her sister. it will be wierd if I ask my sister-in-law's sister who is probably my sister-in-law too on a date. Even if i really like her.

You are not blood related to her. So, what is the big deal of course marry her. My mom's brother married my dad's sister. Their children are my double cousins. As long as there is not a close blood tie it is fine.

It is perfectly acceptable for 2 brothers to marry 2 sisters. You are not related by blood, so there is no problem. During the late 1800's and early 1900's when communities were very small and people traveled little, your situation was very common. People came from large families with 10 or 12 children. They only saw a few other families, and honestly their options were limited since they lived in smaller towns. You may want to discuss this with your brother and sister and law. The only problem that may arise is if you had a problem in your relationship it could make seeing her at a family function later on a difficult or awkward time. I wish you the best of luck.

There are no reasons why you shouldn't if you both love eachother- your children will not be genetically mutated because you are not blood related. If you two are not already in a very serious relationship and your family has a problem with it, you may want to try and find love elsewhere so as to not create a rift in the family. I'm not sure where you live, but you can also check to see if it is legal in your country/state if you decide to go through with it.

I think that you can. There is no blood relationship. I was always attracted to my brother's wife's sister, and if ever forced to marry her, I could happily accept.

Regardless of where you're from, you can marry your sister-in-law's sister...you are not related in any way at all. Technically, she is only your brother's sister-in-law, not yours.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

In the United States, that is perfectly legal; what country are you living in, the U.S., Afghanistan, Pakistan...?
You would be marrying someone who is not a blood-relation to you, related only by marriage. There have been plenty of cases of two brothers of one family marrying two sisters from another family.
If you are unsure about this, respectfully ask your brother and sister-in-law for their opinion and blessing, and if they agree, ask her parents for permission, stressing that if this relationship is somehow inappropriate according to family, religion, or any other factor, you would not pursue it.

The only thing wierd is that you mention that you treat her like a sister and she treats you like a brother. If you thought of eachother as brother and sister already, dont you think it is wierd that you feel you want to marry her? But as far as the original question, no it is considered normal and ok since you guys are not blood related.

Yes. You can marry. There is no blood relationship involved because you are only "in-laws" by marriage. Two sisters(in one family) can marry two brothers (in another family) as long as those being married do not share a bloodline relationship-- in the West.

I know several couples like this. It's makes getting together for the Holidays easier because there are less in laws to worry about.
