सुसराल susrāl [S. Ƴशुर+आलयः], s.f. Father-in-law's house or family. (The term is sometimes applied ironically to a gaol or prison, just as, in English, the pawnbroker's shop is called 'the mansion of mine uncle'; it is also used occasionally in the sense of 'no one knows where,' e.g. wǒh susrāl-ko gayā, 'he has gone nobody knows where,' 'he has made himself scarce'):—susrāl-kārishta, s.m. A marriage connexion:—susrāl-kākuttā, s.m. A son-in-law who sponges on his father-in-law.
