1 day9 hrs confidence: another solution
Explanation:
Dear Olga,
I have another solution, I don't know, if it's right, but you may condsider it.
The sentence can mean: The woman in her husband's family holds the position of a daughter. I mean when someone becomes a wife, she marries a man, who is not just a husband, but also the son of his parents. And when the wife steps in the family, she becomes a wife, but also the daughter of his husband's parents (as they say it in English: daughter in law).
I don't know, if this solution has any legal background, but grammatically correct.
