persons covered. affine...for now I have put "related person". I think a different word would have been used to mean dependants. In my opinion, parente covers this. Any additional insight as to the difference in Italian between affine and parente greatly appreciated.

relative by marriage
Hi Paul,
The difference between "parente" and "Affine" is that a "parente" is someone you are directly related to whereas an "affine" is someone you are related to by marriage.

Note from asker:
| relative, direct or by marriage (I'll check this but I think that is standard wording and works well ) |

affinita': parentela tra un coniuge e i consanguinei dell'altro (Devoto-Oli)

esattamente, Paul:
consanguinei vs. affini/parenti acquisiti
nel linguaggio comune per parenti si intendono anche i "parenti acquisiti", ma in un'assicurazione e' necessario che non ci sia ambiguita'.

Note from asker:
| relative by blood (parente) or by marriage (affine)? |
| obviously my question is not about the final wording but the concept |
