Does a triple divorce take place if the husband swears to his wife, saying: "By triple divorce, if you speak of this matter again, it shall be a separation between us," and she then speaks of the matter?

The majority of scholars hold that a divorce oath results in divorce upon the occurrence of the stipulated condition, and that uttering "three divorces" counts as three divorces. A divorce that is doubly conditional—such as "I divorce you thrice if you disobey me and I do not do such-and-such"—does not occur unless two conditions are met: your disobedience and his failure to fulfill his threat. The intention of the husband is key in this matter. If his intention was to prevent you from speaking a certain word at a specific time or in a particular situation, and you did not speak it, then no breach of the oath has occurred. However, if you disobeyed his words and he did not fulfill his threat, then three divorces have occurred. This complex issue requires presentation before a Sharia court or reliable scholars. The husband is advised to avoid swearing by divorce, and the wife is advised to obey her husband and have good faith in him.
