siblings-in-law
Married-in brother, sister
Siblings-in-law is the plural of sibling-in-law—the brothers and sisters of one's spouse, or the spouses of one's siblings.
The term is useful when referring to the group collectively: I get along well with most of my siblings-in-law.
It avoids the awkwardness of saying "brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law."
