I was watching this serial in which a married man was romantically (secretly) involved with his sister-in-law living under the same roof! This came as a minor shock and somehow unacceptable to me. What are your opinion on such relationships?

It seems an immoral act of man. It is better for them to leave to avoid temptation. Living under one roof is crucial if there is a male not of the same blood.
I won't allow my mature sister in law to come live with me. There is no blood relationship between us. And having an attractive mature lady stay with me for a long time is a recipe for disaster. I had an affair with the sister of my ex girlfriend. She is not my relative in any way.

In my culture marriages between relatives is prohibited and it is tagged as a taboo. It’s even illegal in some cases as it carries legal consequences.
While I wouldn't be supportive of a relationship with an in-law myself, who am I to say how others should live their lives?
Just keep your sexual depravity and fantasies behind closed doors. This goes for all kinks: Keep it out of sight from kids.
This thread title made me think of incestuous relationships, though, a whole different can of worms.

Romantic relations with people outside your blood-family aren't always OK. For instance, it's not appropriate for some professor, of whatever age, to date students at the university, especially ones they teach.
This somewhat alludes to the fact that a professor may be significantly older than a student, and that's why it's wrong. The problem I have with this is that a professor can have a minimum of a master's degree and still be a professor at an undergraduate school. Considering the professor may have gone straight to college to pursue their education at 18, they could be a (n adjunct) professor at 25-30, teaching an upper-level course to 20 and 21-year-olds. There really isn't anything wrong with that age gap, in my opinion.
Against school policy? You can make an argument that it isn't appropriate, and it would be valid. However, I don't think it's a problem unless they are giving them higher praise than other students.
You would also have to strengthen your stance on workplace relationships and even military fraternization, with the latter, which I am aware happens all the time. While fraternization was frowned upon, and I believe even illegal (under different law [UCMJ]) if in the direct chain of command, it's not a big issue unless you can show there is favoritism going on, as if it turns into a serious relationship, one can always move commands and it be legal and somewhat acceptable again.
Yeah, I can understand why some professors or military commanders would be aloof. It's not personal, but rather a situation where "too much fraternization" could lead to favortism, teacher's pets etc.
Most definitely if that's the case, but in my experience, I've never encountered any unprofessionalism like that when we all knew.
Some (maybe many, and my life experiences are just the outlier here) could cross the line, but I have never seen it, though I know it does happen.

I cannot imagine to have such relationship. I understand sometimes you have have romantic feelings towards your relatives, but we humans are moral creatures and we have brains.
