A quick definition of affinitas affinitatis:

Affinitas Affinitatis: A fancy way of saying a relationship that comes from two different marriages. For example, if your stepmom's stepchild is married to your cousin, you have an affinitas affinitatis connection with them. It's not the same as being related by blood or marriage, but it still counts as a connection.

A more thorough explanation:

AFFINITAS AFFINITATIS (pronounced uh-fin-i-tas uh-fin-i-tay-tis) is a legal term that refers to a relationship that arises from two marriages. It is a connection that is not based on blood or marriage, but rather on the marriages of two different people.

An example of affinitas affinitatis would be the relationship between a person and their stepmother's stepchild. Another example would be the relationship between a person and their father's second wife's child from a previous marriage.

These examples illustrate how affinitas affinitatis is a connection that arises from two marriages. In both cases, the relationship is not based on blood or affinity, but rather on the marriages of two different people.
