Question
A woman was divorced and her period was due the day before. Does the first month after the divorce count, and does she have two more months left to complete the waiting period?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The waiting period for divorce begins with a new menstrual cycle that occurs after the divorce. If the divorce takes place during menstruation, that menstrual cycle is not counted, and the waiting period does not end with three months but rather with the completion of the third menstrual cycle in reality. And God knows best.
