If multiple women report the arrival simultaneously, does divorce apply to all of them?

Primary text
If two, three, or four women announce the arrival at the same time, all of them are divorced. This is because the conditional word 'Whoever' (*man*) applies to one person as well as more than one, as evidenced by the Quranic verses concerning those who do good or evil deeds in quantity equal to a particle (Quran 39:7 and 39:8), and concerning those women who are devout (Quran 33:31).
