issue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'product of the marriage' is the definition.
'issue' can be an answer for 'product' (issue is a kind of product). I'm not certain of the 'of the marriage' bit.

'susie could be' is the wordplay.
'could be' is an anagram indicator.
'susie' with letters rearranged gives 'ISSUE'.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Outcome - children" , "Spring - children - publication" , "Matter of dispute" , "Major topic for debate" , "Emanate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
