/əˈfaɪnd/ – Adjective
Definition: 1. có quan hệ thân thuộc thông qua hôn nhân;
2. bị ràng buộc bởi nghĩa vụ.
A more thorough explanation: In legal English, “affined” refers to a relationship created by marriage, rather than by blood. It is often used in contexts where legal or familial rights and responsibilities are determined based on marriage.
Example: The two parties were affined by marriage, creating a legal bond between their families.
