Do the two verbal divorces take effect if the wife is menstruating or the husband is angry, and what is the ruling on the continuation of the marriage with doubt about a third verbal divorce having occurred, especially with the presence of two children and the wife's equation after divorce?
If you have divorced your wife twice and documented these divorces, and no new divorce has occurred, you can take her back before her waiting period (iddah) expires, or with a new contract after the iddah ends. However, if you divorced her verbally twice, and then twice again through the registrar (ma'dhoun), she becomes unlawful for you until she marries another man, he consummates the marriage with her, then divorces her, and her waiting period ends. Divorce during menstruation is prohibited, but it is valid. Anger does not prevent a divorce from occurring unless it leads to a loss of awareness. Doubt about the occurrence of a divorce does not make it happen. It is advisable to refer to the Sharia court or present the matter to trustworthy scholars.
