Kinship is one of the most important organizational components of society. In any country in the world you will find a division into relatives in society. This social institution connects individuals and groups, establishes certain relationships between them. Therefore, it is so important to know all degrees of relationship, for example, who the brothers’ wives are in relation to each other.
Division of kinship into degrees
The main type of legal relationship between people living together is marriage and reproduction. Relationships between relatives are based on blood relations (consanguineous) or marriage (affine)
- Consanguineous relationships. This degree of relationship is based on blood, meaning the relationship between parents and children, also among brothers and sisters.
- Affinity is based on marriage. The relationship between spouses is the main family ties.
Relationships between people depend on the level of intimacy. Intimacy is based on how these people are connected to each other.
Primary relationship
Basic kinship is based on direct family relationships. Persons or persons who are directly related are considered primary in the nature of the family. Primary kinship is further divided into two:
- Primary Consanguinity: This relationship refers to those relatives who are directly related to each other by birth. For example, parents, children, brothers, sisters.
- Primary Relationship: The connections that come with marriage are considered primary. Direct primary affine kinship is the relationship between spouses. That is, despite the fact that the spouses are not related by blood, nevertheless, they are the closest relatives to each other.
Secondary kinship
This is already the second degree family relations. There are two types of secondary kinship:
- Secondary blood. The main example of secondary consanguinity is the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, aunts, uncles and nephews.
- Secondary related. As an example, we can cite all the relatives of the spouses:
- husband's parents - father-in-law, mother-in-law;
- husband's brother - brother-in-law;
- wife's brother - brother-in-law;
- husband's sister - sister-in-law;
- wife's sister - sister-in-law;
- a son's wife in relation to his father, mother, brothers, sisters is a daughter-in-law;
- the daughter's husband is her father, mother, brothers, sisters - son-in-law;
Cousins will be called the same, with the prefix of the word “cousin, cousin.”
Tertiary relationship
This is the secondary relationship of our primary relatives or first-born relatives with their relatives. A confusing concept, but in life it can all be explained much more simply. For example, your husband's sister's husband will be considered a tertiary relative.
Degrees of relatives in in this case are defined as follows:
- the father of one of the spouses who is the parents of the other spouse - matchmaker;
- the wife of one brother is the wife of another brother - an intercourse;
- The sisters' husbands are brothers-in-law.
The importance of kinship
The kinship system implies unity, harmony and cooperation between all members of the kinship. Family ties establishes recommendations for convenient interaction between people:
- the presence of a marriage taboo - close blood relatives cannot marry;
- regulation of the behavior of different relatives according to the social hierarchy - as a rule, the younger generation listens to the representatives of the older;
- regulating relations with each other in public and official life.
Family ties are usually very strong in rural areas and Asian countries. So, people of these countries must know all their relatives up to the seventh generation, so as not to accidentally marry a blood sister or niece, even a second cousin. They also strictly regulate the rules of conduct for specific family members. Thus, a daughter-in-law must obey not only her husband, but all his relatives who are older than her.
Of course, it is not so important what your brothers and sisters' husband or wife are called. Internal relationships in the family are much more important. IN friendly families there are no daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, they are usually called sons and daughters. This is the most correct related degree. But, nevertheless, there is an official hierarchy of family ties, which makes life much easier when understanding who we are to each other.
When we get married, we immediately have twice as many relatives. And everyone is called something. You won’t remember right away. No, well, you can’t confuse your mother-in-law with anyone! But we'll deal with the rest now...

Brothers' wives. who are they to each other?
More often I hear “sister-in-law”, but about “daughter-in-law” is used less often among us; in general, such a word hurts the ears. How many marriages have already taken place, it seems that many people attend weddings, but they don’t know who each other is and they don’t want to know.
Important
Frankly, me too. The main thing is that I know my mother-in-law and that’s enough. Brothers' wives will be partners with each other. The wives of two brothers should call each other - intercourse, daughter-in-law (a intercourse is the wife of a brother or brother-in-law).
There is also a more pleasant to the ears name for the wives of brothers in relation to each other - yatras (yatrovka). And brothers-in-law are the husbands of two sisters. Wives blood brothers are called differently: yatrova (variants yatrova, yatrovitsa, or yatrovya, or yatrovoka, intercourse, but in everyday life these words are not used, they are called daughters-in-law or sisters-in-law.
And brothers of blood sisters are called brothers-in-law.
Brothers' wives in relation to each other
There is a prettier word than intercourse. True, it has already gone out of use. The wives of the brothers in relation to each other were called yatrova (yatrova, yatrovitsa, yatrovya, yatrovo).
More precisely, this was the name of the brother-in-law’s wife, according to V.I. Dalia. We build a logical chain: brother-in-law is the husband’s brother, yatro is the husband’s brother’s wife.
This means that the wives of two brothers are yatrovi towards each other. By the way, the brother-in-law’s wife (wife’s brother) was also called yatrova. the author of the question chose this answer as the best Yatrovka, intercourse - that’s what brothers’ wives are to each other. But I have never heard them address each other this way, usually such people address each other by first name or first name and patronymic; they are not considered blood relatives, although because of their husbands they consider each other relatives, and this is normal. It is correct to call the brothers' wives yatras, intercourse women.

What is your brother's wife called?
Attention
And they are relatives only on the basis of the fact that they married two brothers. As far as I understand, such a relationship is called a property.
Since our country is still (and, thank God, in my opinion) one of those countries where the traditional family structure of relations remains the norm, then in connection with this, we constantly have questions about who is related to whom and who. And people very often think that names were invented for absolutely all levels of family relationships long before we were born. But, in fact, this is still not entirely true, and for many people who are related to us, there are no clear and well-known names. Moreover, I think that they don’t have to be invented at all.
Agree, there is no great need to call people who have become relatives to us for one reason or another with any specific word.
What are relatives called in relation to each other?
I think that brothers’ wives can be good friends with each other, spend time together, relax in nature. And there it doesn’t matter what they will be called, the main thing is that it is comfortable.
Brothers' wives are daughters-in-law or sisters-in-law. Daughter-in-law is somehow a more pleasant name both for the ear and for reproduction. A sister-in-law is also called a wife's sister. But sisters’ husbands are also called brothers-in-law (they relate to each other). Oh, those names... As for me, it’s much simpler and clearer to say “This is my brother’s wife” than “This is my sister-in-law” or “daughter-in-law.” Moreover, many people now no longer know all the intricacies of these names of conventionally “native” relatives - only father-in-law, mother-in-law and father-in-law remember. Well, son-in-law and daughter-in-law at the same time. How many times have I heard this definition of a brother’s wife as a sister-in-law or daughter-in-law, I don’t know any other definition. I never became a daughter-in-law, my brother is not married and my sister is not married.
What are the correct names for relatives of husband and wife?
Hello, Victoria! From your question it becomes clear that you need to know who the brothers' wives are in relation to each other. So, for such relatives there is not one, but several names at once.

There is a lot of talk now about increasing the birth rate. But it is not enough to conceive and give birth to a child. To grow up truly happy, a baby needs to be born into a strong family where adults love and respect each other. Whether it’s good or bad, the older generation plays a significant role in the strength and durability of a young family, namely the relationship between parents and their chosen son or daughter.
There are so many anecdotes about mothers-in-law and sons-in-law, so much bitterness and resentment sometimes in the life stories of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! And how often quarrels between them lead to the disintegration of a young family... This problem is as old as the world itself. But most often they arise precisely along the “female line”.
It's quite rare to hear about bad relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law or between son-in-law and father-in-law. What is the reason for this? Women's emotionality? Inability or unwillingness to get used to new circumstances and new people? In theory, a woman should be more flexible, softer, and kinder than the male half. But in practice, for some reason, the opposite happens. It's sad, of course.
In the 21st century, the role of men is no longer what it was in previous centuries. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the man was still the head of the house, the main breadwinner and breadwinner. It depended on his ability to work, intelligence and “golden hands” whether the family would survive in general and whether it would live with dignity in particular. Therefore, the husband’s authority in the family was unquestionable.
But women's economic dependence is a thing of the past. Now the wife is equal to her husband, and sometimes even more than him. Yes, and as a support modern men Unfortunately, they don’t fit very well. All this led to the fact that a woman became the head of the family, even if in words she calls her husband a leader, the “gray eminence” still decides almost everything. The man in best case scenario demonstrates a virtual crown, like a rooster's bright comb. Although, of course, there is happy families, where the husband clearly recognizes equality and behaves in everyday life as an equal partner. And here the most important thing is to create and maintain a favorable atmosphere in the house.
It’s good if a husband and wife have the same view on housekeeping, spending and saving money, raising children, sexual relations and a form of rest. If not, then wisdom, compliance, and compromise will help maintain peace in the family - and not only on the part of the wife, but also on the part of the husband. Psychologists have gone to great lengths to denigrate the word “should.” And now it turns out that no one owes anyone anything. Is this for the good? I'm afraid not.
After all, it turns out that when creating a family, young people should not bear responsibility for it? Shouldn't take care of children? Respect old people? Shouldn't you also make money and create comfort in your home? Why then a family if everyone is on their own? I think that when getting married, we must understand that without a sense of duty, respect and trust, no family will work. Falling in love flies away quickly, but love lives long only if both spouses make efforts to preserve it.
You need to learn to give in to each other, accept the habits of your loved one, even if you don’t really like them, show tenderness, understanding, and provide support to all family members. During a quarrel, you should not strive to have the last word. You should cool down and then calmly discuss the problem, find a solution that would suit both. Indifference, irresponsibility, anger, selfishness, mistrust quickly undermine the foundation family hearth, and the past crumbles literally before our eyes.
Unfortunately, many of our men are spoiled by their mothers and easily shift all worries onto women’s shoulders. And then the mother-in-law demands that her son be nurtured until retirement, like five year old baby. Why is it considered the norm that a man is absolutely helpless in everyday life, sometimes to such an extent that he can only find the kitchen by following the arrows drawn on the wall? Of course, I’m exaggerating, but still! When raising sons, it doesn’t hurt to teach them to take care of themselves, to explain that a wife and a servant are completely different things. After all, once upon a time the mothers-in-law themselves were in exactly the same situation as their daughters-in-law are now. And they also suffered from the immaturity and mismanagement of their husbands. Why turn your son into a copy of a loser?
It often happens that a mother, exhausted from work and housework, forgets to give her son the most important thing, namely emotional warmth. It seems to be well-fed, washed, dressed, shod, but without receiving required amount maternal attention, the boy, turning into a man, grows up cold and callous. Feeling in love, he awakens for a while, unleashing all his hidden thoughts on his chosen one.
And here it is important for a girl to behave correctly - to consolidate all the positive manifestations of love, to be affectionate, and not to hide her joy from his manifestations of love. And don’t take on all the burdens of everyday life. While still meeting with your chosen one, invite him to go to the market together, prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner, and clean the apartment. A young man in love will gladly respond to your requests. And in the future he will take his participation in everyday life for granted.
A significant role in maintaining the microclimate is played by the parents of the husband and wife, especially female part- mother-in-law and. They both should remember their youth and not interfere in the affairs of the young family. Neither mothers-in-law nor mothers-in-law should rush to protect their “child”. The child has grown up. He has his own life. Parental authority over a child is temporary. But the love of a son or daughter, their respect can only be preserved by a policy of non-interference.
You want your children and grandchildren to be happy? So let them build their own nest, overcome difficulties, correct mistakes and accumulate their own experience of family well-being.
Quite often you can hear the question: “Who is the husband’s wife’s brother?” The point is that now more and more more families They try to have as many children as possible. And naturally, siblings are the closest people who remain in families after their parents. So let's look at who the wife's brother is to her husband and what to call the rest of the family members.
From my husband's side
But first, let's talk to you about how the wife will have to call her husband's relatives. After this, you can think about our question today: “Who is the wife’s brother for the husband?”
So, it’s good if the groom’s family is small. The young wife will not have to bother her head with the numerous names of her future relatives. But you will still need to remember names, dates of birth, and so on.
Everyone knows that the husband's mother will be the mother-in-law, and the father will be the father-in-law for the young wife. These are the facts that no couple can doubt. True, if the groom has a brother or sister, then he will have to remember strange and scary words. The groom's sister will be the bride's sister-in-law. Brother - brother-in-law. But the husband's brother's wife - or daughter-in-law. Such a confusing relationship. Now let's discuss the following: who is the wife's brother for the husband? At the same time, we will capture the rest of the relatives from the spouse’s side.
From the wife's side
Who will be related to whom on the wife’s side? Naturally, the girl’s mother is the mother-in-law for her husband. How many jokes there are about what kinds of mothers-in-law you come across! Father of the bride - In principle, these relatives are known to everyone. Their names always remain popular. But what about the rest of the family?
For a husband, a wife's brother is a brother-in-law. Probably not everyone is aware of this. After all, as a rule, it is not necessary to know about such details. However, sometimes people are still interested correct names distant relatives. The wife's sister is called sister-in-law, and her husband is called brother-in-law. Basically, at the initial stage life together people prefer to simply call relatives by first name or first name and patronymic, depending on age. True, when the question “who is the wife’s brother for the husband” is left behind, then other ambiguities arise. For example, who are each other’s relatives on the husband’s or wife’s side. Let's try to understand this difficult matter.
Uneasy connections
Parents on his and her sides are matchmakers for each other. Fathers - mothers - matchmakers. If a young brother or sister has a child, then he will be the same to the new family member as his relatives are, namely a nephew or niece.
Parent of a great-great-grandfather or great-great-grandmother - Probably, now hardly anyone has such relatives. Nevertheless, even for them there are names. Additionally, you may hear the word "grandchild" (nephew/brother/father-in-law, etc.) quite often. This term applies to relatives from the third and further generations. A more common name is second cousin. Kuma is the godmother, and godfather is Godfather one of the parties. These strange and sometimes incomprehensible ones appear in every family. Probably, now the question, who is the wife’s brother to the husband, will not cause you any particular difficulties.
Conclusion
So, now you know who is who and who in your family. not the most important thing that young people need to know. It is worth remembering that the most important element that should be present among relatives is the unspoken bonds expressed in relation to each other.
If you don’t know what to call your relative, then it’s best to just use his/her name if you have a small family, or first and patronymic if you’re from different generations. This demonstrates your
