He may be wed in the end (5)
I believe the answer is:
edwin
'he' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'be wed in the end' is the wordplay.
'wed in' can be anagrammed to 'EDWIN'.
Though, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
'may' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edwin that I've seen before include "Dickens novel 'The Mystery of . . . . . Drood'" , "Old king's" , "old king" , "Wined (anag.), man's name" , "and 19: Dickensian character" .)
