[Avodah] Birchot Habanim and Negiah

[David Cohen]

I do not want to again bring up the topic of negiah and derech chiba which
has been discussed many times. However, i am looking for sources on its
application to relations by marriage, e.g. son-in-law and mother-in-law or
daughter-in-law and father-in-law.

A specific example. In a home on friday night, where the father's minhag is
to give the birchat habanim and banot by placing a hand (or both hands) on
the head of the child, can he do so with his daughter-in-law? I could not
find sources. Any help or ideas?
