The answer

If the waiting period () has not ended, and the divorce is revocable, then the husband must take his divorced wife back into his marital bond without a new contract, and he must provide her with independent housing. However, if the waiting period has ended, then the matter rests with the woman to accept a new contract, with the advice not to refuse him if he is a man of good character and religious commitment. The woman has the right to demand her rights from the husband, such as maintenance and other entitlements, which are a debt upon him. It is incumbent to repent from illicit relationships before marriage.
