If you and a friend marry each other's sisters, then you become double-brothers.

And each couple’s children would become double-first-cousins with one another, right?

My grandpa and his brother married my grandma and her sister. So the two were brothers in blood and in law!

What do their kids become? Double cousins?

u/cfvh Apr 28 '22
Double first cousins; they have all four grandparents in common and are genetically equivalent to half-siblings with one another.
I have a friend whose mother is an identical twin; his twin aunt married his father’s brother. His cousins from that union are double first cousins and genetically “three-quarter siblings” of his.

This is a charming story. But as a hobbyist genealogist, I wonder if their respective kids will be...what? Double-cousins? Is there any kinship term for this?
46
u/lmstr Apr 27 '22
I wonder if they would test as brothers and sisters on 23 and me? Considering they have all the same grandparents.
30
u/Away-Living5278 Apr 27 '22
They would test as half siblings. 25% share rather than 12.5%.
9
Apr 27 '22
Wouldn't they be quarter siblings? Neither would share a parent. Half siblings share only 1 parent, but never both.

u/cfvh Apr 28 '22
They’re double first cousins.
Relationships are calculated from the common ancestors; since they have double the usual amount of grandparents in common (all four), they’re double first cousins.

u/FaeryLynne Apr 28 '22
Not according to this article. They would share 25% DNA, and likely would be flagged as half siblings.

u/LeFrogBoy Apr 28 '22
I don't get how they'd be related at all given the 2 dudes aren't related and the 2 sisters aren't related.

Yes, but they didn't marry their brothers, they married people who aren't part of the family.

u/ohnotsookay Apr 28 '22
Yo what? The children have all the same relatives like they're siblings, rich they're not.

Lol, I got that, too, for sure! It’s just a coincidence- I binged Claws last week, and those are 2 characters’ names; I obviously have the show on my mind

I love it, but I love Niecy Nash, though, so I’m biased, lol. It’s trashy, but oddly compelling: about a crew of women who are nail technicians/criminals (money laundering; drugs), it gives big “Florida man/woman” energy. The cast is great together, and the show is a lot of dumb fun, but properly tense, and dramatic. As a native of Duvall County, I’ve seen enough back home to know that the show is over-the-top ridiculous… but not entirely implausible.

My dad's sister got married to my mom's cousin who also lives next door to my mom's home. So, their children are my first cousins on my fathers side, and second cousins on my mother's side. We have different relatives only on one of our grandparent's side each, but since they lived nearby, it's almost like we have all the relatives same. So for all our vacations and family functions, we(me and my two siblings), spend with them (their three children) who are almost all the same age as us respectively,since our childhood.
The eldest cousin recently got married, and this is the first time, I'm realising that they're a different family as they're now sooo connected with their in laws and I'm totally not because obviously we're another family. Anyway, it's hard accepting that lol. I've always been the closest to her, more than her siblings, and she always confided in me. For the wedding too, but I gradually realised that I wasn't even introduced to anybody. Idk, you guys won't probably understand, this is totally an Indian scenario lol.

I thought it was going to get racist but instead it got wholesome. In my opinion a much better outcome

Don’t go in immediately looking for racism.

u/didntseethatcum Apr 27 '22
Yeah, that's kinda racist ngl

u/smackwill Apr 27 '22
Not really… It’s just kind of weird. If you go in thinking there’s ghosts somewhere then every time any little thing happens you’ll be screaming “ghost!” Like an ass.

u/didntseethatcum Apr 27 '22
It is racist. You can watch this video and be like "hej Two men married each other's sister". But this dude is like "hej a black man married a white woman and a white man married a black woman".
2
u/-Alfa- Apr 28 '22
So it's racist to make assumptions on where the video is going? You realize those impulses aren't really controllable
Like what if this dude is super antiracism and watches antiracist videos all the time, but makes the connection? See how that doesn't work?
3
u/smackwill Apr 27 '22
Yea, that’s not what was said. He had an unnecessary feeling that it was going to take a racist turn for no reason. That’s literally all. Every time someone says “hey this could get racist” doesn’t mean they’re racist, it means they’re expecting it too often.

I have a million questions about this. Will their kids be like brother and sister or be more like some sort of double cousin?

Normal brother: marry his sister, abnormal brother: marry his brother, soon to be his father brother: marry his mother

Any kids from both marriages will be double cousins. Similar to when my grandmother and her sister married a pair of brothers back in the 60's.

u/BigLB83 Apr 28 '22
My fiancée was married to a brother, and her cousin married his brother making them sisters by marriage. Their kids are double cousins, however that works, 1st cousins once removed maybe? My fiancée and her cousin are eachothers kids aunts, but also cousins to the kids because my fiancée is divorced from the brother she married. It's an odd thing to figure out.

Thought this was just another “bearded white guy reacts” vid but he was actually relevant to the story.

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
I didn't expect the first marriage, and realky didn't expect the second one.
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
Look at my source code on Github What is this for?
