Does the iddah (waiting period) for a divorced woman, ten days after childbirth, count as six months or three months?

The waiting period (iddah) varies depending on the divorced woman's circumstances. For a woman who does not menstruate due to young age, illness, or old age, her iddah is three months. What the judge ruled regarding setting the iddah at six months has no basis, because the iddah is specified in the Book of Allah the Almighty. Perhaps the judge intended to specify the wife's rights concerning maintenance, clothing, and housing during the waiting period. The correct approach is to return to the court to clarify its ruling.
