The answer

As soon as the wife is reconciled with during her waiting period (iddah) following a revocable divorce, she returns to the marital bond of her husband, and she is not permitted to refuse. The validity of the reconciliation does not depend on a document, but it should be obtained to preserve rights and prevent corruption.
