If a man who wants to marry a woman, and she claims that observed the waiting period (‘idda), does one need to investigate further or can they rely on her statement?
Answer
If her statement is deemed to be truthful, they can rely on her statement, and one does not need to investigate further, unless she was considered to be lying.
