In Chinese, "in law" is also a relative, but differentiated by adding qualifying words before the title. So, a man's sister will call the man's mother in law "yan1" aunt (Cantonese dialect) or "yin" aunt (Mandarin).
Chinese family terminology is very complicated -your father's elder brother, his younger brother, and your mother's brother all have different titles, unlike in English where they are all uncles.
