If a wife is in a waiting period due to pregnancy and the husband revokes her, how does the second waiting period commence?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Waiting Periods ('Iddah)
Primary text
If she is pregnant, she cannot begin the waiting period for the second divorce until she delivers the child, as the current period is based on pregnancy. After delivery, the waiting period for the second divorce commences. If the pregnancy is legally attributed to the second marriage, she completes the waiting period for the second marriage first. Upon completion, she then begins completing the remainder of the first waiting period, at which point the first husband may revoke her as she is in his waiting period.
