The family boundaries might be quite complex. Considering the Klingon cross-cousin system it's possible that they consider tey' to be a part of the family and lor to not be. Okrand has supported this by noting that people are more close to their tey' than their lor.

Are they considered a part of one's {qorDu'}? If so, then yes.
I don't know. Good question.
The way I understand the Greek word for "family" is parents and kids only. But looking up the English "family" in Merriam-Webster I saw other definitions too, which could expand the "strict" meaning of the word to include cousins, aunts, etc. On the other hand, I don't know how Greek dictionaries define the word, so go figure.
All that aside -and correct me if I'm wrong- the husband *is* a {pal'ar} to his wife and vice versa, my point being that to be a {pal'ar} you don't have to be blood related to someone.
