Right male punished in province (5)
I believe the answer is:
realm
'province' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'right male punished in' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'punished' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'male' anagrammed gives 'ealm'.
'r' going inside 'ealm' is 'REALM'.
(Other definitions for realm that I've seen before include "Monarchy" , "World" , "department" , "the UK, perhaps" , "Empire - state" .)
