Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah by giving her to Jacob instead of Rachel on their wedding night, as Jacob had intended. Laban did this by having Leah wear a veil and keeping her identity hidden until the morning, when it was revealed to Jacob that he had married Leah instead of Rachel.
Leah and Rachel were Laban's daughters. They both married Jacob.

Rachel married Jacob, she was Laban's daughter.
Laban changed Jacob's wages multiple times while working for him - specifically, he changed Jacob's wages 10 times as mentioned in Genesis 31:7.
The man who deceived Jacob was Laban, his father-in-law. Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah instead of Rachel, whom Jacob loved. This deception led to Jacob having to work an additional seven years in order to marry Rachel.
According to Genesis 27 and after, Jacob's father-in-law was Laban, who was also Jacob's uncle (his mother Rebekah's brother). I know your talking about the bible, but in Twilight Jacob's father-in-law will probably be Edward. LOL
Jacob's uncle was Laban. Laban tricked Jacob by giving him his older daughter Leah to marry instead of Rachel, whom Jacob loved. Jacob had to work an additional seven years to marry Rachel as well.
There are a few Jacob's in The Bible, but probably the most well know is Jacob the son of Isaac. Jacob married Leah and her sister Rachel, who's father was Laban. Laban was not only the father in law of Jacob but he was also a brother to Rebekah, Jacob's mother.
Laban was the uncle of Jacob who was renamed Israel
Jacob works for Laban for 14 years because he wants to marry Laban's daughter Rachel. Laban makes an agreement with Jacob that if he works for him for seven years, he can marry Rachel. However, Laban deceives Jacob by giving him Leah instead, so Jacob agrees to work another seven years in exchange for Rachel.
