Is there a way to return a wife after she has irrevocably divorced herself by delegation from the husband in the marriage contract, and what are the rulings of this divorce in terms of its conditions, its type (revocable or irrevocable), the rulings of the 'iddah (waiting period) and رجعة (return), and the possibility of revoking the delegation after it has been granted?
The husband has the choice to divorce himself, or appoint an agent for it, or delegate it to the wife. If the husband places the matter of his wife's divorce in her hands, then she has the power to divorce, and this is not considered coercion of the husband as long as he can revoke this authority. If the wife divorces herself before consummation, the divorce is irrevocable, and the wife cannot be taken back except with a new contract. The husband can retract his delegation of divorce authority to his wife even if it was for compensation.
