Primary text

If a woman who only has one divorce remaining requests three divorces for one thousand, the husband responds, 'You are divorced twice; the first for one thousand, and the second without anything.' In this case, the first divorce occurs, and the husband is entitled to the one thousand. The second divorce does not occur because the husband limited its consideration to a specific condition that was not met for the second instance.

If the husband states, 'The first one is without anything,' only that single divorce occurs, and the husband does not deserve anything because no compensation was stipulated for it, and the count of three divorces is completed.
