Brothers in Law

I have a brother-in-law. If another sister gets married, I will have another brother, but not another law. I will have two brothers-in-law, not two brother-in-laws.

This can be confusing. The car that belongs to my brother-in-law is my brother-in-law's car, not my brother's-in-law car.
