Does the divorce uttered by a sick, bedridden man who sometimes loses his mind and has quarrels with his wife, during which he pronounces divorce, sometimes three times, take effect?
If a man pronounces divorce while he has lost his sanity, his divorce is not effective. However, if he pronounces it while he is lucid, his divorce is effective. Divorce does not occur from a person who is completely insane. As for one whose insanity is intermittent, his divorce occurs if he pronounces it during his lucid intervals. If a man pronounces divorce with the triple pronouncement while he is aware, the majority of scholars hold that it counts as three divorces, while some scholars are of the opinion that it counts as a single divorce.
