If the husband states, 'I intended by my saying 'most just divorce' that it should occur during menstruation,' it is accepted, as this implies a severe admonishment fitting the state of menstruation, which is an affirmation against himself involving harshness. The divorce occurs if she is menstruating. This holds true between him and God (Allah).
