Placing the authority of divorce in the woman's hands

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it not valid for the authority of divorce to be in the woman's hand, with the necessary distinctions?

Answer:
If he delegates it to her—if he delegates it to her—and says, "Divorce yourself," then she may divorce herself on his behalf, because he delegated that to her. However, the default is that the authority of divorce is in the husband's hand, but if he delegates it to her, that is permissible. Yes.
