What is the ruling on a divorce that occurred to a wife after her quarrel, repeated demands for divorce, and raising her voice, and does it take effect if there was no intention, and what is the method for taking her back, and is the presence of witnesses required, knowing that she was pure and no intercourse had occurred?
If the situation is as described, then the divorce has taken effect, and the wife raising her voice and screaming does not prevent the divorce from being valid.
If this was not the third pronouncement of divorce, then she can be taken back without a new contract if she is still within her waiting period (), by saying: "I take you back," or similar words. However, if the waiting period has expired, then a new contract is necessary.
It is recommended to have witnesses for the reconciliation, but it is not obligatory according to the majority of jurists.
It is not permissible for a woman to seek divorce without a legitimate Shar'i reason. Both spouses should strive to maintain family stability through mutual respect, fulfilling their rights, and overlooking minor faults.
