Is it incumbent upon the couple to renew their marriage contract after the husband, in a state of anger, said to his wife, "You are divorced once or twice," following her request for divorce?
If a husband pronounces divorce while in a state of extreme anger that deprives him of awareness, the divorce does not take effect. However, if he was aware, then his divorce is valid, and he has the right to take his wife back before the 'iddah (waiting period) expires, unless this was the third pronouncement. Some scholars are of the opinion that divorce pronounced with a single utterance or in a single session counts as one pronouncement. If this was the third pronouncement of divorce, then she becomes unlawful for him until she marries another husband. The children are attributed to the husband due to the doubt. It is advisable to consult the Sharia courts. It is forbidden for a wife to seek divorce without a legitimate Sharia excuse.
