Aunt's Husband is Not the Uncle?

This may be somewhat convoluted; I'll do my best to make this simple to understand. In CAS, I have come upon the following issue when setting the relationships:

Man A is married to Woman A. They have two kids, Child A and Child A2.

Woman A has a sister, Woman B.

At this point, the relationships are set correctly.

Woman B has a kid, Child B.

I then delete Woman B, so the niece, Child B, is going to be with her Aunt's(Woman A's) family.

I click on Child B's relationships to see if all is kosher and it says that Woman A is the Aunt, Child A is a Cousin, Child A2 is a Cousin, and Man A is...a Roommate. The option to appoint him as the Uncle was not there.

Is this just a bug, I guess...?

  • I have had this confusion in real life. 
    When my uncle divorced my "aunt", what did she become?

    It's really confusing but I think only blood can be aunt or uncle.
    When a your mothers sister marries a guy he becomes an uncle by marriage. 

    It's so confusing! Maybe someone else has more insight on this.

    ^this

    life is like that though i  have an aunt who wasn't an aunt at all  she was a long time family friend to one of my parents 

    when in the CAS try to make everyone related this is how i got it to work if you want to keep the Uncle (or aunt as the case may be }

     in CAS two female two males the ladies are sisters A and B  the guys brothers added three  children A and B ,B1(bro and sis ) they see each other correctly as cousins  deleted  one female but the male she was married too is still an uncle because the other male is his brother

    see images 2 (before and after ) CAS one in game
