Can a daughter-in-law visit the grave during Qingming Festival?

Daughters-in-law can visit ancestral graves during the Qingming Festival, because once married, they become members of the public family and therefore have to sweep the public ancestral graves.
In most areas, it is said that married women should not return to their parents' home to sweep graves during the Qingming Festival. According to the older generation, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled." In the past, women would take their husband’s surname after marriage, so they could no longer be considered members of their natal family. Naturally, they could not worship their natal family’s ancestors, but should worship their husband’s family’s ancestors.
In addition, if a married daughter returns to her parents' home to sweep the tombs during the Qingming Festival, others will think that there are no male descendants in her parents' family. All families with sons will not let their daughters come back to sweep the tombs. Even if they want to sweep the tombs, they have to wait until their brothers and uncles have finished sweeping the tombs, or come back to sweep the tombs after the Qingming Festival. You cannot visit the graves alone; you must be accompanied by a male relative.

What are the taboos for women visiting graves?

1. Women who are weak or in poor condition cannot visit graves. If they must go, they must wear jade or amulets with them.
2. Pregnant women and women who are menstruating cannot visit graves because the cemetery is filled with negative energy, which is not good for children and women.
3. A girlfriend who is not officially married cannot accompany her boyfriend to visit the graves, because the graves to be swept during Qingming Festival are those of the ancestors, and if they are not married, they are not considered a family yet.
4. In some areas, there is a saying that a widow whose husband has passed away within three years cannot visit the grave.
