Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 19101 — A man who gives his wife the choice

Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab and Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If a man gives his wife authority over her own matter, or gives her the choice, and then their sitting breaks up and the woman has said nothing about it, the matter returns to the man.
