well what relation is he to you, this would determine how legal etc it is.
hes not a blood relation so theres no real implecations other than what it would do to your family.
IMO you probably should end it

"Related to my sister-in-law's side of the family" doesn't exactly sound like you're siblings, does it? Get together with this guy and **** everyone else. Clearly you want to do it so don't let your sister-in-law get in the way of that.

yeah but you can't dismiss family, although it doesn't sound as though they are siblings, but still family is important

The reason why 'your culture' developed that attitude was clearly to avoid incest, and some people have just gone overboard. What would your family do if you didn't stop seeing him? To be honest, I can't see much reason why you would need to leave either your boyfriend OR your family. Why bend to such stupid rules?

Yah... ummm.. I think if your family would really react THAT badly to something like this, then it's time to be packing your bags anyway.
