Primary text

The scholars agree that a slave has the right to revoke his wife after a single pronouncement of divorce, provided the necessary conditions are met.

Supporting text

If he divorces her a second time, he has no right to revoke, regardless of whether his wife is free or a slave, because a slave's pronouncements of divorce are considered two instances (in this context, referring to the legal capacity after the first divorce). This point has a prior dispute mentioned elsewhere.
