Whose statement is accepted if the husband first claims he reconciled yesterday, and the wife counters that her iddah had already ended before his claim?

Primary text

If the husband precedes her by claiming he reconciled yesterday, and the wife replies that her iddah had ended before his claim, the husband's statement is accepted. This is because his claim of reconciliation occurred during a time period where it was prima facie plausible, and her subsequent statement cannot invalidate a prima facie accepted claim made earlier.
