Marriage Into the Bride's Family (Nà Xù)
Marriage where the groom moves into the bride's family home.
Nà xù refers to a marriage arrangement where the groom moves into the bride's family, becoming a member of her household—the opposite of the common practice of the bride marrying into the groom's family. In traditional society, this typically occurred when the bride's family had no male heir and needed to continue the family line or inherit the estate. Selecting an auspicious day for nà xù was traditionally done to pray for a smooth and harmonious union in this special type of marriage.
