Divorce in India very slow (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isolate

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

'india very slow' is the wordplay.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'very' becomes 'so' (both can mean 'extremely').
'slow' becomes 'late' (I've seen this in other clues).
'i'+'so'+'late'='ISOLATE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for isolate that I've seen before include "Maroon" , "Put into quarantine" , "Cut off from all contact" , "Cut off; quarantine" , "Keep apart" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
