Religious leader I married in the morning (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imam

'religious leader' is the definition.
(I know that imam is a type of religious leader)

'i married in the morning' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'm'.
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (AM on a clock).
'i'+'m'+'am'='IMAM'

(Other definitions for imam that I've seen before include "Mosque's prayer leader" , "Muslim religious leader" , "Muslim prayer leader" , "Man leading prayers in a mosque" , "Muslim holy man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
