Does divorce occur if the husband says to his wife, "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" in a state of anger due to recurring marital disputes and the wife leaving the home without his permission?
Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it reaches the point of loss of perception. If the husband utters "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" three times, intending thereby to effect three divorces, then all three divorces occur, and the wife becomes irrevocably divorced (baynunah kubra) according to the majority of scholars. However, if he intended affirmation, that would be accepted from him. And if he did not intend anything, then only one divorce occurs. It is recommended to consult the court regarding these matters. Furthermore, the wife must obey her husband and not leave his house except with his permission; otherwise, she is considered disobedient (nashiz).
