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).
