In a certain code, 'A + B' means 'A is the father of B', 'A - B' means 'A is the wife of B', and 'A = B' means 'A is the sister of B'. If 'P + Q = R - S', how is S related to P?
S is the son-in-law of P. P is the father of Q, Q is the sister of R, so R is P's daughter. R is the wife of S, which makes S the husband of P's daughter, i.e. his son-in-law.

- DFather-in-law
Explanation
P + Q: P is the father of Q. Q = R: Q is the sister of R, so R is P's child, and R is a female because R - S means R is the wife of S. Hence S is the husband of P's daughter R, so S is P's son-in-law. Son would ignore that R is S's wife.
