Under obligation remain with husband from early days (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beholden

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

'under obligation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'remain with husband from early days' is the wordplay.
'remain' becomes 'be' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'husband from early days' becomes 'holden' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'be'+'holden'='BEHOLDEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beholden that I've seen before include "Under an obligation" , "Owing gratitude (to)" , "Owing thanks, indebted" , "Bound" , "Obliged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
