“I once asked al-Rida’ (a.s.), about the case of a man who says to his wife, ‘’1‘tadV (you must commence waiting period); I have opened your way. In few days he arranges witness for his going back to her; then remains absent from her before going to bed with her until months pass from the waiting period or more. What do you command in the case?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Since he has arranged for witness about his going back to his wife, she is his wife.”’
