Crudely handled when dad got married (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pawed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crudely handled' is the definition.
'pawed' can be an answer for 'handled' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'crudely' bit.

'dad got married' is the wordplay.
'dad' becomes 'pa' (synonyms).
'got married' becomes 'wed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pa'+'wed'='PAWED'

'when' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pawed that I've seen before include "Manhandled" , "Roughly handled" .)
