Googling the phrase leads you to this thread, the synopsis of a Tamil movie, and this word: içgüvey.
But it's Turkish.
Quote:The Turkish word for bride or daughter-in-law, gelin, literally means, "she who comes." The reverse situation rarely occurs. A man who lives with his in-lawsan içgüvey, i.e. an "inside" bridgegroom or son-in-lawis looked upon as rather pathetic.
