Is one divorce or two divorces counted for a woman who became pregnant out of wedlock by her fiancé, then he contracted marriage with her, then divorced her, then took her back, then contracted marriage with her again, then divorced her, then she learned that marriage to a pregnant woman is valid in the Shafi'i school of thought?

A previous statement clarified the jurists' disagreement regarding the ruling on a man who commits adultery with a woman and then marries her while she is pregnant by him. Divorce in a disputed marriage, after consummation, is valid. We draw attention to the seriousness of being lenient in the interaction between the prospective groom and bride, such as going out together and being in seclusion; as this is a means for the spread of indecencies, and the prospective groom is a stranger to his fiancée until he contracts marriage with her.
