Cut short time being married (5)

I believe the answer is:

mowed

'cut' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'short time being married' is the wordplay.
'short time' becomes 'mo' (slang abbreviation for 'moment').
'being married' becomes 'wed' ('wed' can be similar in meaning to 'married').
'mo'+'wed'='MOWED'

(Another definition for mowed that I've seen is " Cut the grass".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
