If a man gives only one divorce to woman, can she marry someone else? Or she has to wait for 3 divorces before marrying someone else?
1 Answer
One divorce is still a divorce. Assuming she has gone through her iddah period, then yes, she is free to marry another.
The only difference between one divorce and three divorces is that three divorces is considered irrevokable; with one divorce, the couple still has the right to reconcile before the iddah has ended and retain their marriage.

one correction, note the couple but
the man
has the right to reconciliate or take her back. The woman can only wish, he would take her back.– muslim1Feb 19, 2015 at 17:33
