To get someone married/ to marry someone off

Son-in-law. Son-in-law. A nickname for a person who has given birth to his daughter or son.

("Thus the wise man Tzarih teaches to be a Zeriz in the 24 books of the Tanakh), said Rabbi Levi...What is this woman? All the time she is in her father's house she is a veil of her strength and no one knows her. She comes to the assembly to be married, revealing her face, saying, "Everyone who knows me as a witness must come and testify to me." Thus the wise man Tzarih teaches to be a veiled woman. This, and spread in his good deeds as the whole of this that is spread" - Midrash Tanhuma (Buber) interpreted that you will bear a sign, and so: "On the bed of two ideals you lie... She has not yet prepared for marriage, even if one of her children is born, and the comforts of her life are cut off and fly away" - Agnon/ Elo Wa Elo, Hindah, 19)
