Divorce issued by an angry person is effective if he is aware of what he is saying, and this is the view of the majority of scholars and the most preponderant opinion. However, if the anger is so severe that he becomes like an insane person, then the divorce is not effective. The phrase "You are divorced" is an explicit statement of divorce and takes effect even if one did not intend it. Triple divorce pronounced in a single utterance is considered three divorces by the majority of scholars, while some consider it a single divorce. Divorce pronounced during menstruation is effective according to the majority of scholars, while some consider it ineffective; the preponderant opinion is that it is effective.
