Hi Ted Yes quite! However in the past "son-in-law" was also used for as a term to describe a "step-son" as this case amply demonstrates, you don't need to take my word for it!

As I pointed out in the last sentence of my message to you this morning, if I had a son in law, which I have not, he would be the husband of my daughter. God help him.
