If the husband states, "If I divorce Umra, Hafsa is divorced," and then states to Hafsa, "If I divorce you, Umra is divorced," and then divorces Umra, both wives receive one divorce. If he divorces Hafsa first, both wives receive one divorce each, as this scenario is the reverse of the preceding one where the initial conditional statement on Umra's divorce was met by the direct action on Hafsa, and vice versa.
