	Refs:	meikyo, koj. 夜這い is ateji. I guess that means the 'lit' tag is wrong as well (it's actually the -masu stem of the verb よばう)
	Comments:	Personally, I think 婚い and 婚 should remain. There's clearly a sexual element to 婚 (see new entry for くながい), and 婚い is offered by my IME for よばい

	Comments:	It's quite valid to have 婚 as a kanji for よばい, and manga doesn't come into it. I don't want a bowdlerized dictionary, but I see the problem. Only the 国語s mention 婚. I think it can safely be a comment.

	Comments:	when people look up kanji on rikai-chan this manga make-up stories come up. why is it an ancient practice is beyond me. it seems to be the head of a manga writer just. please make one kanji words have more children friendly content in the future.
