Is a husband's threefold divorce, after his wife's insistence and threat to resort to court or the police due to his circumstances (excessive drinking, unemployment, damaging her mother's car), considered a coerced divorce or not?

If the husband is addicted to drinking alcohol, you have the right to demand a divorce due to the harm this causes the wife. This right is further amplified if he treats you badly and leaves you alone at home for long hours. The threat of complaining to the court does not prevent the divorce from occurring, as it is a rightful coercion. The triple divorce issued by the husband is considered binding according to the majority of scholars, and you become unlawful for him until you marry another man.
