cousin-in-law
Married-in family member
A cousin-in-law is the cousin of one's spouse, or the spouse of one's cousin.
The term follows the pattern of other in-law relationships but is used less formally and less frequently than brother-in-law or sister-in-law: I met several of his cousins-in-law at the wedding.
