What is the ruling on a husband's refusal to document a "you are divorced" repudiation for the first time after the 'iddah period has expired?

Since the ' (waiting period) of the divorced woman has expired without the husband revoking the divorce, she is considered irrevocably divorced from him, and he cannot take her back except with a new marriage contract. Documenting the divorce in official circles does not affect its legal validity and rulings, but it is a great benefit that should not be neglected. If the husband refuses to document the divorce, the woman should refer the matter to the court.
