Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that divorce is connected with men, and the waiting period concerns women.
(b) Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates sometimes from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and sometimes from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Divorce rests only with the one who became the owner."
