If you have divorced your wife with three pronouncements of divorce, she has become irrevocably separated from you (baynunah kubra), and she is not lawful for you unless she marries someone else willingly, and he consummates the marriage with her, and then he divorces her or dies, and her 'iddah (waiting period) ends. The divorce of an angry person is effective unless he has completely lost his senses. And a divorce pronounced during menstruation is effective according to the majority of scholars.
