The ceremonial of
welcoming a new bride into her marital house for the first time is known as
this.
The arrival of a new bride is a significant shift for a
family, and it is a period of opportunity as well as risk.
On the one hand, it has the potential for huge benefits,
since the bride and groom are expected to start a family shortly.
On the other side, it poses a risk of danger since the
addition of a new member to the family has the potential to cause chaos.
Various rituals are performed by the bride and her new
family to ensure that her accession to the family is auspicious and peaceful.
