Who are considered first-degree relatives by affinity?

  1. Children and grandchildren

  2. Spouse and spouse's parents

  3. Uncles and aunts

  4. Grandparents and great-grandparents

The correct answer is: Spouse and spouse's parents

First-degree relatives by affinity are defined as individuals who are related through marriage rather than through blood. In this context, a spouse and a spouse's parents represent this affinity relationship. This is because the marriage creates a direct, recognized legal connection between the spouse and their in-law parents. The other options do not fit this definition. Children and grandchildren are considered first-degree relatives by blood rather than by affinity. Uncles and aunts, while closely related within a family tree, also reflect blood relations rather than those formed through marriage. Grandparents and great-grandparents fall into a similar category of blood relatives, not by design of affinity. Therefore, the relationship between a spouse and their parents-in-law accurately embodies the concept of first-degree relatives by affinity.
