Not according to the legal definitions in Thunder Rebels. Close kin is your bloodline, they are responsible for fines, work, bringing-you-up-right and so on. But, legally, the entire clan IS considered your kin, certainly for the purposes of kinstrife though I think that this definition is rather broad. However, kinstrife in its nastiest form is when brother kills brother or child slaughters parent.... VERY nasty repercussions.
