Primary text

A woman's admission of marriage (*isnad*) to a man claiming to be her husband is accepted. This is because she is admitting against herself, and she is not suspected of fabrication in this matter. Furthermore, if she wished to initiate a new marriage contract, she would not be prevented from doing so.
