I think it's because Christians in general don't pay much mind to the bits specifically about Jewish law in the OT, especially those parts that might be bizarrely alien in the eyes of non-Jewish cultures ... a kind of cross-cultural disconnect that happened when Roman Christianity was divesting itself of its troublesome Jewish rebel roots, or w/e.
You'd think the theologians would care, and they were the ones who got it wrong in the first place.
I have never heard that passage preached any differently than the above comment so I have no clue what you're on about
Marrying your in-law is considered squicky in modern Western society, and may have been squicky to earlier peoples adopting Christianity but without first being Jewish, and not appreciating the delciacies of Jewish law - or giving two shits about it, or seeing what it has to do with them. It's not how it's preached by the preachers, it's how it's glossed over in the minds of the masses. There's also that concept of a kid you fathered in wedlock somehow not being legally "yours".
