'jilted bride' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'experiencing losing no-good fraud' is the wordplay.
'experiencing' becomes 'having' ('have' can be a synonym of 'experience').
'losing' is a deletion indicator.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'fraud' becomes 'sham' (sham can mean a fraud or charlatan).
'having' with 'ng' taken away is 'havi'.
'havi'+'sham'='HAVISHAM'
