Primary text

When a free man divorces his slave wife, the ruling is similar to the divorce of a free woman. The established position is that divorce is considered from the perspective of the men, meaning he retains the right to revoke the divorce until he pronounces the third divorce, just as with a free woman. There is a differing opinion on this matter which has been previously discussed.
