    Your brother’s ex-wife is your ex-sister-in-law. Are there people who don’t call their siblings spouse their in-laws?

      I called her my sister-in-law at the time. It was when I called her brother my brother-in-law that some people kinda took offense.

      It was weird.

      Looks like this case wasn’t sibling’s spouse. It’s sibling’s spouse’s sibling. In the US, they should not be technically your in-law. But I don’t think it’s weird to use it here and kinda surprised people cared.

        Yeah, I personally wouldn’t argue with them about that. People are really overly pedantic. I wouldn’t call my brother-in-law’s siblings my in-laws but I don’t know either of my brothers-in-laws siblings very well
