Why can't a son-in-law go to her husband's grave

Because there are customs.

The son-in-law can't go to the grave of his parents-in-law to worship his ancestors. If a son-in-law visits his parents-in-law's grave, it is disrespectful and insulting to their ancestors.

Its meaning warns future generations that the son-in-law should not go to the mother-in-law's house to worship the ancestral grave. We know that although the son-in-law is the "half son" of his father-in-law, he is a foreigner after all, not from their family, that is, the descendants of their ancestors. This is disrespectful to their ancestors and detrimental to their family's reputation, so it is best not to go as a son-in-law.
