A form of marriage that requires the boy to stay in the house of the beloved girl for a number of years, generally two consecutive years. After staying for the mutually-consented number of years, the boy takes the girl to his house. In such a form of marriage, payment of bride-price is waived as the boy’s hard toil during his stay in the girl’s house is believed to have well exceeded the bride-price.
