Fresh trouble and strife occasioned by the same? (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

war bride

'occasioned by the same?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fresh trouble and strife' is the wordplay.
'fresh trouble' becomes 'bride' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'strife' becomes 'war' (I've seen this before).
'bride' after 'war' is 'WAR-BRIDE'.

(Another definition for war bride that I've seen is " one married after some hostility".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
