It is narrated that a woman said to her husband: "If the matter were in my hands, I would separate from you." The husband said: "The matter is in your hands." The woman said: "You are thrice divorced." This matter reached Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. He became angry and said: "You people hand over the authority given by Allah into the hands of women." Then he said: "It is one divorce, and the husband has the right to take her back."
