Iddah for Doubtful Sexual Intercourse
Issue No. 2169- If a man had sexual intercourse with a non-maḥram woman under the impression that she is his wife, the woman should observe ‘iddah (‘iddah of divorce), irrespective of whether she knew that the man was not her husband or not. In case the man knows that the woman is not his wife, but the woman considers him as her husband, in this case too, she should observe ‘iddah. For doubted intercourses one should calculate ‘iddah from the last intercourse.
