Long explanation:
The Vietnamese expression 'lấy chồng' directly translates to 'take husband' in English. It's colloquially used to refer to a woman getting married or when she 'takes a husband'. Just as English has separate colloquial phrases for men and women getting married (such as 'take a wife'), so does Vietnamese; this is one such expression for women.
