Raised in Belgium -- coarse, backward place! (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
brought up
'raised' is the definition.
('bring up' can be a synonym of 'raise')
'belgium coarse backward place' is the wordplay.
'belgium' becomes 'b' (international vehicle registration code).
'coarse' becomes 'rough' ('rough' can be similar in meaning to 'coarse'**).
'backward' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'place' becomes 'put' ('put' can be a synonym of 'place').
'put' in reverse letter order is 'tup'.
'b'+'rough'+'tup'='BROUGHT UP'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for brought up that I've seen before include "Raised" , "Reared" .)
