For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There is no (commonly used) formal definition of any such relationship, since 'cousins' need to have a grandparent in common, 'second cousins' need to have a great-grandparent in common etc.
Where the link between two people is, for example, the grandparent of one person but the great-grandparent of the other, then 'once removed' is added to explain things. However a link through marriage is not generally recognised as creating a relationship for cousins.
Even so, Wikipedia recognises that some people might use the term 'cousin-in-law' for the relationship between you and your husband's cousin:

Heirhunters is back on, in the mornings so, if you are thinking about this in terms of what she might inherit, I think that, if he dies before you and he made no will, you get the lot. But, if you like her lots, she gets nothing, if you died without a will since, by then, she's only an in-law and the automatic rules pass everything to offspring or other next of kin, as set out in the rules (which I cannot describe in detail, not having read them myself).
Basically, if you want any control, make a will. Yes, it will cost but consider it as a big gift, for them to remember you by.
