Why women has to leave her parents after getting married and move to husband's house?

This is more of a tradition rather than a religious requirement. In Northern India, it became custom for a girl to live in her husband's house as he is usually the breadwinner and is duty-bound to take care of his parents and in North India would also be entitled to inherit any property from his parents along with any brothers. Until recently, girls did not inherit any property/land from their parents and are usually given a dowry as their inheritance which they usually take with them when they marry.
Most young people cannot afford their own property but this is now changing in big cities such as Delhi and Mumbai so usually stay in the same town unless required to look for work outside of their village or town.
There is still a community in Southern India where it is the men who move in with their wifes as it is the daughters who inherit any property and are required to look after their parents in old age but this tradition is dying out as a result of male domination and merging with dominant cultures.

When women got married in Shakespeare's time what were they expected to do?
They were expected to move out of their parents' house and move in with their husbands. However, husbands were expected to do the same. According to Germaine Greer's book Shakespeare's Wife, this raises interesting questions about where the unemployed 18-year-old Will and his pregnant wife lived after they got married. So strong was the prejudice against married couples living with their parents that Greer believes the newly married Shakespeares must have taken a tiny and cheap lodging on the outskirts of town.
