Maybe it’s partly a cultural thing. Obviously not here but in other parts of the world the man pays brideprice for the woman and moves into his house.
It’s more low-key in these parts but it still happens to a certain extent (in my opinion). I remember someone saying re. EastEnders that Stacey’s the only Slater he likes “but then she’s a Fowler now.” You can see that that implies something beyond just taking on his surname. She’s meant to adapt to her husband’s family more than her ‘old’ family. It still happens low-key.

I've certainly never encountered anything like you're describing in my lifetime
