Learn English – Word for parents of your child’s partner

kinship-termssingle-word-requests

There are words for relationships obtained by marriage or partnership of family members: xxx-in-law. But, surprisingly, there is no word (that I know of) for the parents of your child's partner. Or is there? Or did we forget it?

I wish there was a word for it (also in Dutch, my native language), because it is always hard to describe this common relationship concisely.

For who is interested: the Malay language has besan: relationship between parents whose children are married to each other.

Best Answer

There is none that I've ever heard. I would simply use son's/daughter's in-laws.
