Affinity

 
Wikipedia: Affinity (law)
For the racehorse, see Son-in-Law.

In law and in cultural anthropology, affinity, as distinguished from consanguinity, is kinship by marriage. It is the relation which each party to a marriage bears to the kindred of the other. It is usually signified by adding "-in-law" to their degree of kinship.
