	Earlier, many times a brother’s daughter would be given in marriage to his sister’s son. Mother-in-law was thus related to her son-in-law, her nephew. She would request and plead him to be nice to her daughter and treat her well. The singers call their son-in-law “Javai bal“in Marathi, which literally means son-in-law, my child.

जावई काय बाळ विनत्या कराया नका लावू

ātā mājhī mainā nēṇantī vāgavūna dāvū
