Dancing nude around wife? You'll get divorced! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unwed

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

'dancing nude around wife?' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'wife?' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'nude' with letters rearranged gives 'uned'.
'uned' placed around 'w' is 'UNWED'.

'you'll get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for unwed that I've seen before include "Divorced" , "Single" , "Not married" , "Without benefit of clergy?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
