towed

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

'dragged' is the definition.
(towing is a kind of dragging)

'into getting married?' is the wordplay.
'into' becomes 'to' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'married?' becomes 'wed' (wed can mean married).
'to'+'wed'='TOWED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for towed that I've seen before include "drawn" , "Dragged behind" , "Helped when powerless" , "Hauled" , "Pulled along" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
