[Avodah] Negiah and Friday night brachot

[David Cohen]

I posted the following back in January:

"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?"

The only responses I received concerned giving a bracha at the bedeken
during the wedding. I was really looking for sources concerning a regular
Friday night and the minhag of birchat habanim/banot.
Any help would be appreciated.
