Do I need to be related to the individuals who are in my Family Sharing?

Family relations are not a requirement, and no such checks are done.

Family Sharing and all its related services may be aimed at groups that are much like family households, but any 6 people with Apple ID accounts for the same country can form a group, and e.g. share these sharable subscriptions.
