BLOOD RELATIONS
Blood relation refers to the relationship or kinship between individuals who are biologically related to each other. These relationships are based on shared genetic ancestry, and the term "blood" is often used metaphorically to emphasize the biological connection. Blood relations are typically determined by factors such as parentage, descent, and consanguinity.
Common examples of blood relations include:
- Parent: A father or a mother.
- Child: A son or a daughter.
- Siblings: Brothers and sisters.
- Spouse: Husband or wife.
- Grandparent: Father or mother of a parent.
- Grandchild: Child of a child.
- Uncle/Aunt: Brother or sister of a parent.
- Niece/Nephew: Daughter or son of a sibling.
- Cousin: Child of an uncle or aunt.
- In-Laws: Relatives by marriage, such as father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, etc
