Calls for indications of marital status? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rings
'calls' is the definition.
('ring' can be a synonym of 'call')
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rings that I've seen before include "jewellery" , "Telephones" , "See 12" , "Makes a circuit" , "phones" .)
