When maria married john, she moved to john’s house which was adjacent to his parent’s house. her mother-in-law was always over giving maria advice on everything from decorating to icing cakes. maria lives in a residence.

Patrilocal residence.

Explanation:

To live in a Patrilocal residence means, such as the example detailed, for the married couple to reside with or rear the husband's parents. In a Patrilocal residence system or society, it's structured that a man remains in his father's (or near his house) home after reaching maturity and, when he get's married, he should bring his wife to live there. This is the case of Maria, that moved to John's house, which is adjacent to his parent's home. Given that the man resides near his parents, it's logical that the woman moves with the man she marries (in this type of society).
