«ولو طلَّق إحدى امرأتيه ثم وطئ إحداهما كان ذلك بيانًا للطلاق في الأخرى»
“If he divorces one of two wives without specification and then has marital relations with one, that may identify the other as the divorced wife.”
The example depends on a legal situation in which the relation indicates continuing marriage with the woman approached, especially where the unspecified divorce is irrevocable. The act can then identify the other woman as the one divorced.
Qualification for revocable divorce: marital relations may themselves amount to revocation of divorce, so the act cannot invariably identify which woman was divorced.
The important principle is that an action clarifies only where no independent legally valid account of that action undermines the inference.
