I asking about meaning of my lovely in law??
I want [strike]asking[/strike] to ask about the meaning of "my lovely in law". [strike]??[/strike]
We have such a thing as "common law marriage," so I suppose one could be a "common law wife."
Yes, it does exist. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Common-law+wife
This does not justify *wife-in-law in any sense. The notion of ‘common law‘ has no connection at all with the form ‘X-in-law‘. In this form, X can only be an immediate blood relative - as Piscean said some time ago.
