Is this woman considered divorced and out of her waiting period (iddah) after leaving her husband's house and experiencing three menstrual cycles, and is it permissible for her to accept a suitor and speak with him before the court rules on the divorce?

If clear harm occurs to the wife from her husband, she is permitted to request a divorce and refer the matter to a judge, who will compel him to divorce or rule for it. However, the woman is not considered divorced until the husband pronounces the divorce or the judge rules for it. Therefore, the aforementioned wife is still under her husband's marital bond, and it is not permissible for anyone to propose to her unless the divorce is finalized and her waiting period (iddah) concludes.
