How does a man spend the night with his second wife, whom he had previously divorced, given that he stayed an extra night with the third wife, and he now has three wives among whom he divides his time two days for each, but the first wife is absent? Should he drop a night from the third wife's turn and give it to the second wife so they are equal, or should he give the second wife an extra night outside of the rotation?

The husband adds the second night of the wife with whom he fulfilled his need to her turn, making it three nights. Then, he resumes the division between the two wives with two nights for each of them to achieve justice, and the turn of the third wife is not diminished.
