I am very close with my brother's wife and the rest of her family but I have trouble when I try to describe our relationship to other people. Is there a term for the parents and siblings of your sister-in-law? What about her cousins, aunts, and uncles? But we are all related through marriage though right? Please tell me. Am I related to my sister-in-law's family through marriage?

We call them FAMILY!! If they are in some way related to you, we call them family or in-laws. Listen to this... My husband's step brother's ex-wife...is our sister in law. Just call them family, it's really not important how!! It's how you feel about them, not how they are 'related' to you!

you are NOT related through marriage to her entire family, just her. They are your brother's in-laws as a whole, but you would only have the connection to her as her brother in law. that's where it ends. So, it would be ...your brothers sister in law, etc.

Just call them "in laws." Bogging a story down about the precise relationship will cause people not ot listen.

Maybe you could refer to them as your brother's mother in law, father in law, etc.

No. You are not related to her family but your brother is. I would say, "John/Jane is my brother's sister/brother-in-law."
