The question

Is it valid to take back one's wife after the husband uttered "talaq talaq talaq" twice in two separate quarrels, knowing that he took her back after the first time, and he did not intend divorce in either of them, and the wife was menstruating or in a state of ritual impurity (junub) on some occasions?

The answer

Your saying to your wife: "Divorced, divorced, divorced" effectuates one divorce, unless you intended three, in which case three take effect. Repeating the same phrase after an interval could mean initiating a new divorce or confirming the previous one. If you intended to initiate a new divorce, the ruling for it is the same as before. If you intended confirmation, it is not accepted from you judicially but is accepted between you and Allah. Your saying to her "You are divorced" – while she is menstruating – results in a divorce according to the majority of jurists. The statement "You are divorced" is considered an explicit declaration of divorce, so intention is not taken into consideration. Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless the person is unaware of what he is saying.

The questioner is advised to consult a scholar directly or refer to the Sharia court to learn the details of these matters. Spouses must treat each other with kindness, for it is either retention with kindness or separation with grace. Striking and shouting in front of a child is a crime against them.
