Chapter on the Divorce of a Missing Person

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي شَاهِدَيْنِ شَهِدَا عِنْدَ اِمْرَأَةٍ بِأَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَتْ ثُمَّ جَاءَ زَوْجُهَا قَالَ "يُضْرَبَانِ اَلْحَدَّ وَ يُضَمَّنَانِ اَلصَّدَاقَ لِلزَّوْجِ ثُمَّ تَعْتَدُّ اَلزَّوْجَةُ وَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا اَلْأَوَّلِ".
In a narration from Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Hamid, it is reported that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said regarding two witnesses who testified to a woman that her husband had divorced her, leading her to remarry, and then her husband returned. Imam عليه السلام said: "The two witnesses shall be subjected to the prescribed punishment and must compensate the husband for the dowry. The woman must then observe her waiting period (iddah) and return to her first husband."
