Does uttering "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" with the intention of disciplining the wife and not of issuing a divorce constitute a triple divorce?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you pronounce an explicit divorce statement, being aware and having made a conscious choice, the divorce takes effect, whether you intended it as a threat or as an actual divorce. Repeating the word of divorce three times without intending three separate divorces results in a single divorce. If you had not divorced her more than once before, you may take her back before her iddah (waiting period) expires.
