Law. In-laws. A way of referring to one's relations by marriage--mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, etc. In-law is short for in Canon law, the reference being to the degrees of affinity within which marriage is allowed or prohibited. *
Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 1963, p 537.
*Found looking for Lawks, which was not there, sadly.

A day that flows is such a relief.
In laws....Outlaws?
What does one call them if you're not married on paper?!
I often wondered why they were called that.
I haven't had enough good flow days lately.
I have a ancient framed copy of the Canon Law of Kith and Kin hanging in my summerhouse. A man may not marry his grandmother, but the whole thing makes no mention of same-sex marriage. I have to find out what Canon Law says about it now!
