Characters in the same phonetic series (家) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *kraːs) : semantic 女 + phonetic 家 (OC *kraː).

Etymology

Exoactive of 家 (OC *kraː, “home, house”), with the addition of the denominal verbalisation suffix *-s in Old Chinese, meaning “to go to one's new home; to become married”. In the Baxter–Sagart system, an additional pronunciation is posited for the causative sense (“to make someone become married; to marry off”), formed with the prolific Old Chinese causative prefix *s-. Compare 娶.

There are several theories, all of which analyse it as よ (yo) + 女(め) (me, “woman, female”). However, よ (yo) may be one of the following:

呼 (“to call out, invite”, in reference to welcoming the daughter-in-law as the son’s wife)
弱 (“weak”, in reference to the inferior position relative to the mother-in-law)
夜 (“night”, in reference to serving the husband at night)
良 (“good”)
吉 (“good luck”)
