When does divorce take effect if a husband says, "You are divorced from today until one year"?

Primary text
If the husband says, "You are divorced from today until one year," the divorce takes effect immediately because the particle 'min' (from) indicates the beginning of the time period, implying that the divorce applies starting from that day.

If he intended that the condition of divorce is set from today but its effect occurs after one year, then it does not take effect until after that year. If he intended to repeat the divorce from the moment he uttered the words until the year ends, she is divorced three times immediately, provided consummation has occurred.
