Does a divorce terminate a wife's agency (Wakala) granted before the divorce?

Primary text

The agency granted to a wife for selling, buying, or other matters is not revoked upon divorce. This is because the cessation of marriage does not prevent the initial establishment of the agency, and therefore it does not terminate its continuation.
