If a woman says, "I divorce myself" and intends separation, this statement functions as an implied expression (*Kinayah*) for annulment (*Faskh*). This is because the statement conveys the meaning of annulment, making it an implicit term for annulment, similar to using the term for annulment as an implicit expression for divorce.
