Is the wife's review permissible after the husband utters the divorce three times consecutively, "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced," in a moment of anger, with his intention being to emphasize the divorce and not to effect three divorces, especially since she is pregnant and regretful?

If a husband intends by the phrase "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced" to emphasize rather than to establish, then only one divorce occurs. He can reconcile with his wife if this divorce has not been preceded by two previous divorces, as long as she is still within her waiting period ('), because the divorce is revocable. Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless the husband is unaware of what he is saying. Divorcing a pregnant woman is permissible. One must be wary of anger and avoid causes of dispute to ensure a happy family life.
