I've been thinking about it for a while now, but what if a member of the main
house of the Hyuuga clan marries a member of the branch house of the Hyuuga
clan ?

I've searched everywhere for the answer, but I couldn't seem to find it
anywhere.

What happens when a member of the main house of the Hyuuga clan marries a member of the branch house of the Hyuuga clan?


**At the end of the day, both are still "Hyuuga".**

We remember from all the way back to Hinata vs Neji that his father cries and
says "I wish I bore you into the main family". Then, even if his father was a
branch member, had his wife been a main member, Neji would be a main member as
well.

Other than that, their problems were settled after Naruto puts Neji's mind
back in his head after they fought in the Chuunin exam. In the flashback as
well, Neji's father asks Hinata's father to tell Neji the full story when he
gets older but at first, he refuses.

Hinata's father apologizes to Neji after his fight against Naruto and it is
implied that there is some harmony between the 2 families. After that it seems
that the tension between the families calms down.

That would probably be the most normal thing to happen : Neji explains in
episodes 60-62 that everyone is considered side branch except the first child
of the main branch, and that there is only one Main Branch.

Then, the only people the Main Branch could marry would be Side Branch people
or people outside the clan, and it seems like they would usually marry inside
the clan to ensure the Byakugan is passed down to the next Main Branch heir
(however this may not be the case).

Therefore, I would assume that when a main Branch marries a side branch the
one who was side branch would probably gain some stature but the one who was
always main branch would still be the leader of the clan.

Until more is revealed, I would speculate that the two houses do not typically
marry each other. But let's say that a marriage does happen, do they both get
put in the same house? What about their children? Would the clan even allow
marriages like that to happen?

If such a marriage is looked down upon by the clan, maybe it could mean the
two are forced into the branch house or are ostracised from the clan
completely. Maybe their children are placed into the branch house.

Maybe gender plays a role. It could be that the couple takes the house of the
husband or wife. Ultimately, we don't know enough of the Hyuuga clan's
marriage customs to give you a real answer.

In fact, there's not much info on what puts someone into the main house or
branch house. Neji's father is put into the branch house although Neji's uncle
is placed into the main house.

It's an interesting scenario for sure.
