patrilocal
Living with in-laws
Patrilocal describes a marriage custom where a couple lives with or near the husband's family.
The term appears in anthropology to classify kinship and residence patterns across cultures: In patrilocal societies, brides leave their natal homes to join their husband's household.
The opposite is matrilocal, where couples settle with the wife's family.
