Crossword Genius

University man gets married (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

united

'married' is the definition.
('united' can be similar in meaning to 'married')

'university man' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'uni' (I've seen this in other clues).
'man' becomes 'ted' (Ted is a man's name**).
'uni'+'ted'='UNITED'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for united that I've seen before include "Joined together as in alliance" , "Whole" , "Various football teams" , "Joined together, allied" , "See 18" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
