Best Answer

Tybalt is a Capulet and related to Juliet, who Romeo loves and is married to.

He may also have in mind the Prince's warning that street brawlers will be put to death. However, his primary reason is to avoid causing harm to his in-laws even if they don't know they are his in-laws.

Tybalt is Juliet's first cousin (the son of Lady Capulet's brother) and so related to Romeo by marriage. Romeo had no intention of harming Juliet's relatives and tries to explain this to Tybalt without actually disclosing that he and Juliet are married. And it looks like Tybalt might be prepared to accept this except that Mercutio jumps in and starts a fight with Tybalt for no real reason.
