sibling loyalty
Brother-sister faithful bond
Sibling loyalty is the bond of allegiance and mutual support between brothers and sisters.
It implies standing by a sibling even when inconvenient or costly—keeping secrets, taking sides in family disputes, defending against outsiders: Sibling loyalty kept her from telling their parents about the accident.
The phrase often surfaces when this loyalty is tested or when someone acts against a sibling's interests.
