/what/ - ...

I never saw that so I don't know the context but it was not unheard of for that to happen in Japan. If a clan only had daughters and no male from the same clan to marry her of to she would have to marry somebody outside the clan who would then take her name so the clan did not disappear, either that or she would adopt a child.

>When families would find themselves lacking either a capable male heir or a son altogether, they would turn to adoption by marrying a man to one of their daughters, or just merely taking them into their household. It was a way for families to ensure the continuity of a reliable male line that would take over as the family head and sometimes the head of the family business
