The question

What is the ruling on a man divorcing his wife repeatedly, whether by utterance, oath, or intention, and falsely claiming to the sheikh that it was only one divorce? And what is the ruling on the wife remaining with him while she knows with certainty that she is divorced?

The answer

The ambiguity in the question prevents specifying the ruling, due to the unclear mention of the divorce formulations, some of which are explicit and some are conditional or a promise, in addition to the husband's denial of some occurrences.

If the wife is certain that she has been irrevocably divorced three times, it is not permissible for her to remain with him, and she must refer the matter to the court for a decision.

The husband must fear Allah and not lie, for the fatwa of the mufti and the ruling of the judge do not change the reality of the matter.
