The answer

If a man says to his wife, "You are threefold divorced," his wife becomes irrevocably divorced from him according to the majority of scholars, and she is not lawful for him until she marries another husband out of genuine desire and he consummates the marriage with her. The divorce of an angry person is effective if he knows what he is saying and intends it. Therefore, the man is advised to distance himself from this woman and consider her irrevocably divorced, and to beware of the whispers of Satan who seeks to sow discord between spouses.
