Counterpart of maikaa for married men

maikaa/maikah मायका is the name given to the parental household/clan of a married woman. Is a counterpart word exists for a married man?

Parental household of a married man is his own ancestral home or we can call it "Paitrik Ghar" or "Paitrik Grih" (पैतृक घर / पैत्रिक गृह).

If a married man lives in the house of his wife/her parents, he is called "gharjamai/gharjamaai" घरजमाई; but it is a different subject.
