What is the ruling concerning the marriage of a woman who was divorced by her husband five separate times, then sought khul' from him after more than six years and did not observe the waiting period ('iddah), and her marriage contract was concluded days after the khul'?

If it is confirmed that the husband has divorced his wife with three pronouncements, then her iddah (definition) (waiting period) begins from the moment the divorce is issued. The court's annulment (khul') is not taken into account for calculating the iddah. The iddah expires even if the woman is unaware of the divorce, because it is a fixed term. Her marriage to another man is valid if it fulfills the conditions.
