He also had a political career as a municipal councillor, alderman, president of the Liberal Association of Ghent, and later as Minister of Public Works from 1848 to 1850. He married the daughter of Jean-Baptiste Hellebaut, a renowned professor and lawyer. The couple had 18 children.
His father, Albéric Rolin (1843-1937), was a doctor of law, a barrister and President of the Ghent Bar. He also taught at the University of Ghent and was a member and president of the Institute of International Law. He wrote several works on international law, modern law, and war.
His uncle, Gustave Rolin-Jaequemyns (1835–1902), founded the Institute of International Law, and the Journal of International Law and Comparative Legislation. He also served as a member of the House of Representatives and as Minister of Internal Affairs.
His cousin, Edouard Rolin-Jaequemyns (1863-1936), son of Gustave Rolin-Jaequemyns, was Minister of Internal Affairs, a member of the Permanent Court of International Justice, and President of the Institute of International Law.
