Crossword Genius

He has a right to the woman! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

her

'the woman' is the definition.

'he has a right' is the wordplay.
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'a right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'he'+'r'='HER'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for her that I've seen before include "That lady's" , "Belonging to the woman" , "Belonging to a female" , "The female's" , "Pronoun used of ship" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
