Is Iddah Required After Divorce Before Rukhsati?

If a divorce takes place before rukhsati (consummation of marriage or valid seclusion), then according to Islamic law, no iddah (waiting period) is required.

Therefore, in the case mentioned, if the woman was indeed divorced before rukhsati and before any valid seclusion (khalwah sahihah) was possible, then iddah was not obligatory upon her. Consequently, she is permitted to contract a marriage with another person.
