The answer

Divorce is a verbal, legal act, and it is the husband's right to possess it and to delegate it. So, if a man says to his wife: "Choose yourself," or "Choose divorce," and she chooses it, then the divorce occurs. Scholars differed on the number and type of divorces if the wife chooses herself. The majority opinion is that it depends on what was delegated to her; if it was absolute, then it is one revocable divorce. Therefore, by choosing divorce, the wife has been divorced with one revocable divorce, whether it was absolute or according to what they intended.
