Historically she was given a ring very early (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
child bride
'given a ring very early' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'historically she' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'she' could be 'bride' and 'bride' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'child' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'was' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
