Forced to let daughter off rent (5)
I believe the answer is:
riven
'rent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
(Other definitions for riven that I've seen before include "Being cracked" , "Torn apart" , "Split" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
