Commentary
The Iddah of a normal divorcee is three turns of menses and purity. The Iddah of a woman in a state of menopause or of a girl with irregular menses not fixed as of yet, is three months. There is no Iddah for a woman divorced before the consummation of marriage. A pregnant woman divorced or widowed, shall wait until the delivery of the child. The Iddah of a widow is four months and ten days.
