Girl in black perhaps secured husband (4)

I believe the answer is:

goth

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

'girl in black perhaps' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'secured husband' is the wordplay.
'secured' becomes 'got' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'got'+'h'='GOTH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goth that I've seen before include "Uncivilised person" , "Teutonic barbarian" , "Old invader" , "punk style" , "Rocker" .)
