A Confused Blood Relation


Pointing to a girl in the photograph, Amar said,

" Her Mother's brother is the only son of my mother' s father "

How is the Girl's mother related to Amar?

  2. The girl's mother is either Amar's mother too, or his aunt.

  4. The girl's mothers half-brother, because if you think of it mother's brother is like her uncle. Amar's mother's father is his Grandfather. His grand father only had one child which was her uncle but her mom doesn't have the same father as the uncle but has two dad's and one mother.

  7. " Her Mother's brother is the only son of my mother' s father"

    she is a aunt to amar

    mothers brother, mother girl's, mother amar's-- three are siblings

  8. I think she is his aunt. That the mother and Amir’s father are brother and sister.

  9. replace the first work "her" with "my" and u will see that the girl in the picture is amar and she is talking about her own mother.

  11. Aunt or mother, both are possible answers.

  12. They are brother and sister...her mother's brother (uncle) is the only son of Amar's grandfather (uncle). So they are either sibling (same mother) or they would be cousins (different mothers, only bc they didnt specify how many daughters/children)

  13. she could be his mother or his aunt.
    it doesn't specify there were 3 siblings. the brother of the girls mother is his uncle. so the sister of his uncle could be either his aunt or his mother.

  14. I think we would need to assume that the girl's mother and her brother share the same father (i.e. no half-siblings). They share that father with Amar's mother.

    So she is either Amar's sister or his cousin.

  16. It's her aunt. I know when I look at a photo myself; I DO NOT refer to myself as her.

    Her uncle and his mother are brother and sister. Making Amar and "the girl" first cousins
