Urdu translation:SAAS
Explanation:
TRANSLATION OF MOTHER IN LAW IS SAAS BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO CALL HER AS MOTHER IN LAW THEN YOU CALL WITH RESPECT AND THAT CAN BE EITHER Ami jee or saooso jee or its better if you ask her what she would like to be called by you. As we dont call mother in law as mother in law in english either WE CALL by name or somthing like Mrs abcd or Mum etc.
