Article 209 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

The waiting period for divorce begins from the time the divorce occurs, whether the husband is present or absent. If a man divorces his wife while he is absent and she does not learn of the divorce until her waiting period has expired, that shall suffice and she shall have completed it. Part Two: Waiting Period upon Death
Arabic original
تبدأ عدة الطلاق من حين وقوعه حاضرا كان الزوج أم غائبا، فلو طلق الرجل امرأته وهو غائب ولم تعلم هي بالطلاق حتى انقضت عدتها كفى وخرجت منها .
