Explanation

Tracing Anand's relationship: 'only daughter's son' means Megan's brother (since Megan is the only daughter, her son is... wait, Megan is female, so 'only daughter's son' would be someone else's son). Actually Megan is the only daughter, so 'her father's only daughter's son' doesn't make sense. Reparsing: 'I am [her father's] only daughter's son's maternal grandmother's son's brother-in-law'. Megan is the only daughter. 'Only daughter's son' - but if Megan is the daughter, her son would be the grandson. This seems to refer to a sibling chain. The answer 'Husband' suggests Anand is married to Megan Fox.
