https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_(law)
In law and in cultural anthropology, affinity is the kinship relationship created or that exists between two people as a result of someone's marriage. 

https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=姻戚
in-law
relative
姻戚関係 affinity（人類学の）〔血のつながりではなく婚姻によって作られる関係。◆【対】consanguinity〕

alc only attached "affinity" to the whole term "姻戚関係", though it also tags as 人類学.  The note on "【対】consanguinity" is what motivated the [ant] relationship between 血族 and 姻族.

see comments on 姻族.

Not sure to handle the field of "anthropology"), but "affinity" seems like a relatively technical term to me, which wikipedia notes as pertaining to anthropology and law, and alc notes as 人類学.  I don't think this is the first time I've looked for an [anth]ropology tag. 

Based on reverso (which I grant is hardly definitive here), the "affinity" gloss would be better attached to 姻族 instead (or in addition).

reverso gives "in-laws" and "relatives" for this term, similar ngrams.
姻族	17226	53.7%
姻戚	14842	46.3%

At very least, a translator not fluent in English should be shied away from the "affinity" gloss if they don't know what they are doing. (I am learning so many new English words...)

Your wife is, I suppose, covered under "relative by marriage".  According to the diagram in wikipedia, your spouse is indeed part of your 姻族, so this should be a proper antonym.

We currently have the term "affinity" attached to 姻戚, but reverso never glosses it this way.  However, nearly *all* of the reverso glosses treat this term as "affinity".

sankoku defines 姻族 as : 姻戚.
The definition of 姻戚 is followed by a ref to 姻族. Both are marked 文.

I don't think it's necessary to split sense 3. It's not unusual to have glosses with different connotations for the same sense.
影 is commonly used for senses 2-4 (but probably less so in edited prose). I suggest either adding 影 as an iK form or adding those senses to the 影 entry with a "non-standard; usu. written as 陰" note.

@@ -35 +35 @@
-<gloss>background</gloss>
+<gloss>the background</gloss>

WRT adding 影 as sK, I think that obscures the fact that the alignment with 陰 is really just sense 1. Maybe an xref to/from sense 1 of 1590145 would be better.
For sense 3, I think the "behind someone's back" can stay. This dictionary is really for people coming *from* Japanese and the nuance should be clear.

Just encountered the "behind the scenes"/"in the background" in 陰ながら応援, and most terms using this seem to carry a fairly positive nuance.

Any chance of splitting out, and/or relocating "behind someone's back" from sense[3]?  I understand that these are from one single sense in Japanese ("from a place not physically visible to the target").  But certainly in English these are different senses(behind someone's back being idiomatic with a harshly negative nuance). It feels very odd to see them side-by-side, and I suspect it would be misleading for a non-native-English user to see them this way.  "behind someone's back" also suggest that the target is not aware of what is happening, but this isn't necessarily the case (and often isn't the case) with "background" or "behind the scenes" uses.

Equal parts support and slander:

影で悪口	2540	24.3%
陰で応援	2073	19.8%
影で応援	3021	28.9%

I didn't make any actual changes myself, because it seems a fair number of sentences would have to be corrected to match up with such a change...

I stuck 影 as [sK] here, as plenty of expressions using these senses will be written with this kanji, whatever is prescriptively correct. It's really quite a jumble. (I've seen Japanese articles saying "some people write with 影, but that's wrong, they should use 陰".  This only appears, of course, because 影 is used all the time... see, for example:
陰ながら応援	98285	68.5%
影ながら応援	45211	31.5%　<- that's a bit much to dismiss. 

Not sure what we should do about it, but it would be odd of use to not record such a prevalent usage.

Note: this gloss is copied from the xref, with "esp. wooden" removed, since that seems not to apply here.  Also, pluralized "warning",

Pretty sure this is not a "bulletin board" (a permanent fixture to which recent bulletins are affixed as needed), and doesn't seem to be restricted to street corners either. "bulletin" without "board" might have been alright. (Note: I see there is an apparent consensus on a different meaning of "bulletin board" than I am accustomed to.  I will make a different note at 立て札). 

Image search returns bulletins of the "paper/fabric notice hanging from bamboo pole" variety.  Not evidently even "boards" to begin with.

"roadside" is itself even arguably redundant.  Where else is there to put a notice? (in spite of the preference for crossroads indicated by 十 in 辻 itself, it seems these can be set up anywhere. In modern times, 辻札 seems more to refer to the style/purpose of the sign than the particular placement).

Google "陰ながら" "behind" and you'll get plenty of "behind-the-scenes" support. 陰ながら応援する in particular is apparently recommended for *business* contexts(otherwise it may seem cold), and can be directed at superiors.

Whole writeup on just that expression if interested;
https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20220912-2392937/

I think it's not a secret to the person you are supporting(for 応援 anyway). More like you won't actually be taking any action that would make it evident to the people around you that you are providing this "support".  All the strength of the English "I'll be praying for you/your success". (the article even provides this English "praying" equivalent).

In addition to 応援, 祈り, 支える, 支援, and other similar terms are used.  I imagine that most occurrences statistically will be of the "behind the scenes"/"from the sidelines" variety.

"I'm with you in spirit, but that's all I can do because I'm not participating in your endeavor in a way that I can provide any practical assistance". 

A weblio resource actually pitches "in one's heart":
https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/in+one's+heart
斎藤和英大辞典での「in one's heart」の意味
in one's heart
心中；内心；陰ながら；内々

"in my heart, I'll be supporting you/praying for you/....".  Maybe not the best gloss for this term, but I think the sense is spot-on. Well, I would say that if this weren't apparently most-appropriate for business use ;)

Since this won't get deleted, I've removed the [expl] gloss which doesn't entirely make sense as written(the whole entry here is a literal translation of a two-sentence daijs definition).  There's nothing stupid about using people for small("trivial") things.  It's about getting others to do trivial things you could easily handle yourself.  But as this term is non-existent, and the first gloss is perfectly easy to understand, I think it's better to drop the secondary attempt at explanation than expand on it.

あほの話食い
[あほのはなしぐい, aho no hanashi-gui] an idiot will believe anything; an idiot will swallow anything.

Book result
Tigers, Devils, and Fools: A Guide to Japanese Proverbs: 2ndbooks.google.co.jp › books
Edward Trimnell · 2019

AHŌ NO HANASHI-GUI 阿呆の話食いあほうのはなしぐい“A fool believes everything.” AHŌ IS a pejorative word that means “idiot” in Japanese. The above proverb notes that fools are gullible, and will react predictably to whatever they hear.

This is the vibe I get (if this expression were actually used):
Social Media Influencers and Identity Formation
https://networkconference.netstudies.org/2021/2021/04/29/social-media-influencers-and-identity-formation/
Comment: "This is a huge concern with the youth who try and ape the influencers without thinking much about the repercussions associated."

Would happily delete. (Might be an invention of the daijs editors). Reason-for-delete follows editing remarks. 

But first...

Old gloss leaves out the "hearing" part of the expression, which seems important.  New gloss doesn't explicitly say "act", but I think this is implied.  Anything trying to match daijs definition more literally will end up clunky, and I think this gets the point across. (And I don't know what the daijs defn. is based on anyway, since this term doesn't exist anywhere).  Also, "act" isn't in the source either, could handle with [expl] or [note] if the nuance is critical.

No ngrams, tiny google hits. 

There are literally 5 google book results. One is Edward Trimmnell's book in the refs.  The others are two editions of daijs, and two kotowaza dictionaries. Probably all 5 are related(trimnell's English gloss sure looks like an elegant interpretation of the daijs defn.).

=======

Would consider deleting for lack of evidence beyond daijs. (Even the English ref seems to just mining random idioms from reference books)

ALL of 話食い ngrams:
話食い	66

And then we find that 話食い is someone who takes over conversations by interrupting and talking non-stop (a "conversation eater")
https://mainichi.jp/premier/business/articles/20170509/biz/00m/010/008000c

Another article on same introduces  話食い as Osaka-ben:
http://naruchan.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2008/01/post_c8b6.html

So, 話食い has a completely separate, relatively pejorative meaning.  Seems like it would be natural to combine with あほの, and there you go, あほの話ぐい.  Nothing at all like the daijs definition.  "An idiot who takes over every conversation".   (I had initially assumed that this was an analogy to 痩せの大食い(thin person who eats a lot): "an idiot who has a lot to say", which is much closer to the Osaka-ben interpretation than what daijs has).

Aligning... ?  I hate to discard information, but ...

I think all of the following are roughly the same in meaning:
針の穴から天覗く   <-- This entry
to be like a frog in a well; to make (faulty) assumptions based on one's limited understanding of something;
針の穴から天を覗く 
to have a narrow view of things
鍵の穴から天を覗く
to have a narrow view of things
葦の髄から天井を覗く
to have a narrow view of things 
管を以て天を窺う 
to have a narrow view of things

If any of these expressions was common, I'd probably feel differently.  All of these are pretty my trivia, and their meanings are more-or-less comprehensible from their literal glosses. Compare:

井の中の蛙 - 89167  "synonym"
針の穴から天覗く	93

"to make (faulty) assumptions based one one's limited understanding of something" seems like a literal translation of the daijs definition. daijs also gives similar definitions for all of the other terms above.  Wording varies slightly, but I can't imaging the nuances are actually different.  As an alternative to simplifying this gloss, we could complicate all of the other glosses.

Seemed odd in particular to have the "frog" gloss here, which I don't think is particularly common in everyday English.  (If it were, we wouldn't need a separate gloss on 井の中の蛙, "person who is ignorant of the real world"). 
It is certainly used in Japanese references to define the term, however, perhaps that's where it came from...
https://thesaurus.weblio.jp/content/針の穴から天を覗く

For a [lit] gloss especially, not sure why 覗く would be glossed as "look".  針の穴から天を覗く already uses "peek". aligning this as well. (also "the sky" vs. "the skies").
