Familia Política

In-laws.

Tomorrow she is going to meet with her in-laws.

Reference in Modern Literature:

"As the day wore on his in-laws arrived from three surrounding villages, and each party brought with them a huge pot of palmwine. And there was eating and drinking till night, when Okonkwo's in-laws began to leave for their homes"

"They were very fat goats, but the fattest of all was tethered to a peg near the wall of the compound and was as big as a small cow. Obierika had sent one of his relatives all the way to Umuike to buy that goat. It was the one he would present alive to his in-laws."
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

Reference in News:
