Her nephew , cousin and son -in -law

How it is possible? I can't understand the exact relationship between these two people. Can he be the son of her sister who was married her cousin - the son of her uncle?

The only thing I can come up with is: suppose woman's mother has a sister, the woman's aunt, who has a son. The son is then the woman's cousin. Then suppose the woman's aunt passes away, and the woman's uncle then marries the woman's sister.

  • The male cousin is now also her nephew - sort of - the son of her sister and her husband, although not the actual child of her sister.
  • Then that son marries the woman's daughter.
