A new "live-in son-in-law" service is making waves in the eastern part of China. Several matchmaking agencies in the country are offering this unique arrangement where husbands move in with their wives' families, and the children take the latter's surname. This unconventional approach—allowing men to break free from their traditional roles—has sparked the interest of many, in China as well as abroad. Traditionally, women marry into the man's family, but this service flips that tradition around.
