That lady had a divine responsibility for marriage and the family (4)

I believe the answer is:

hera

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

'divine responsibility for marriage and the family' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'that lady had a' is the wordplay.
'that lady' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a woman).
'had' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'her'+'a'='HERA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hera that I've seen before include "Divinity" , "Greek equivalent of Juno" , "female Greek deity" , "Jealous sister and wife of Zeus" , "Greek goddess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
