Revocable Divorce

Question
What is the ruling on a single divorce? What is the waiting period? When is it permissible for the husband to take her back?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the divorce is pronounced once with a clear wording such as: "You are divorced," it is revocable, and her waiting period is three menstrual cycles, and the husband can take her back during this period without the wife's consent, and God knows best.
