Is there a word for a Person living with in-law parents, by which I mean, a man or a woman who got married and moved to his or her parents in laws' house, in English ?
There is a word for it in my native tongue, which is specifically used to express a constant feeling of discomfort caused by social inadequacy.
I would like to know a suitable synonym for the word itself or the expression.
(For search indexing purposes, the word is: içgüveyisi)

live-in son-in-law is one alternative. LDOCE as an instance among the other dictionaries has this entry:
And live-in son-in-law can be quite explanatory based on that.
Another word you could use is freeloader son-in-law.
However, there won't be a better word for this in English, since this is something cultural, and that type of person isn't all that much seen around these days among English speakers.
It's interesting to notice that the movie Meet Bill is translated as İçgüveyisi Bill which is a perfect translation, but as I checked IMDB and the English Wikipedia, I couldn't find a word for the character Bill in that film.
