Root of the חתן châthân family (2 members).

A man who enters into a marriage relationship, specifically a bridegroom or more generally a son-in-law. The term is used both for a man at the time of marriage (bridegroom) and for the long-term familial relationship established by marriage (son-in-law). In some contexts, the word extends to refer to any male relative acquired by marriage, especially in patrilocal societies where marriage alters kinship ties. It can also carry metaphorical nuances denoting the act of becoming allied by marriage.
