Is the wife permissible for the husband after he uttered the words of divorce twice before the wedding, without intending divorce, and with the presence of obsessive thoughts, doubts, and a moment of anger?
The seclusion (khalwa) in which intercourse is possible is considered an entry by some scholars, after which the divorcer owns the right of return (rajʿa) without needing a new contract. If a valid seclusion occurred before the divorce, and the return (rajʿa) happened during the waiting period (ʿidda), then the return is valid, the wife is under his marital bond, and the daughter is attributed to his lineage.
