Wimp married woman served with court order (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
mamas boy
'wimp' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'married woman served with court order' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'married' could be 'm' (abbreviation, e.g. in genealogy) and 'm' is found within the answer.
'order' could be 'asbo' (I've seen this before) and 'asbo' is found within the answer.
'woman' could be 'amy' and 'amy' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
