Crossword Genius

Had done wrong imprisoning wife (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owned

'had' is the definition.
('own' can be a synonym of 'have')

'done wrong imprisoning wife' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'imprisoning' indicates putting letters inside.
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'done' is an anagram of 'oned'.
'oned' placed around 'w' is 'OWNED'.

(Other definitions for owned that I've seen before include "to oneself?" , "Had possession of" , "Possessed; admitted" , "made a confession" , "Acknowledged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
