The term "in-law" is used to indicate someone who is "related" by law rather than by blood. Since marriage is a legal relationship (whether by common law or canon law) rather than a blood relationship, the term "in-law" is used.
The term "in-law" comes from canon law (as opposed to common law). Canon law is law that governs the conduct of a faith's membership. In this case, the term refers to a relationship that is "not natural," that is, not by blood. So, your in-laws are granted a relationship that is between having no relationship and having blood relationship to you. Anyone of a blood relationship on the "in-law" side of the relationship are also considered your in-laws (father-in-law, son-in-law, etc.).
