What is required of me to annul the triple oath of divorce I made to my fiancée regarding not living in the house of a relative?
If the oath of divorce involves a fiancée with whom no legal marriage contract has been concluded, then this oath is vain (laghw) and does not result in divorce. However, if a marriage contract has been concluded with the woman, but consummation has not yet occurred, and then an oath is taken to divorce her three times, stating, "If you live in your relative's house, your wife is divorced from you three times," then the divorce occurs. Some scholars are of the opinion that the ruling on an oath of divorce that is not intended to effect a divorce, but rather to threaten or emphasize, is the same as the ruling on an oath sworn by Allah. In such a case, if the oath is broken, an expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat yamin) is required, and no divorce occurs. They also hold that a divorce pronounced with the triple utterance counts as a single divorce. It is important to note that the permissible oath is one sworn by Allah Almighty, whereas swearing by divorce is among the oaths of the dissolute and can lead to severe consequences.
