jià

(of a woman) to marry

to marry off a daughter; to shift (blame etc)

woman (女) + home (家) = a woman marrying into a family

女 anchors the meaning: this is something a woman does. 家 mainly gives the sound jiā, though it's a pleasing coincidence that 家 means 'home' — a woman entering a new home.
