Does divorce occur in a state of extreme anger, with the repeated utterance of the phrase twice during an argument, and once again when angry, and a fourth time by saying, "You are to me like my mother," with a temporary intention?

We advise against using divorce pronouncements due to the resulting family disintegration and regret. The detailed ruling on divorce according to your exact words: 1. Your saying "[No]" in response to "[Am I not your wife?]" is an ambiguous expression of divorce. If you intended divorce by it, it takes effect; otherwise, it does not. 2. Your saying "[You are divorced]" is an explicit pronouncement that effects divorce. Even if you intended it as confirmation of what preceded it, it does not multiply the divorce. 3. Your subsequent repetition of "[You are divorced]" effects a new divorce if it does not exceed three pronouncements and your wife was within her waiting period (iddah) or you had reconciled with her. 4. Your saying "[You are to me like my mother]": - It has no effect after the three divorces, as the marital bond is severed. - If she was still under your marital bond or in her revocable waiting period, and you intended to forbid her, then it is ẓihār, which necessitates expiation, and it is not valid to limit it to a specific time.

Referring to the above: - If the pronouncements of divorce were three, she is not lawful for you until she marries another husband. - If they were fewer than three and you reconciled with her, she remains under your marital bond. If you have not reconciled with her, you may do so before the expiration of her waiting period; otherwise, a new marriage contract is necessary.

We advise consulting a Sharia court or scholars due to the complexity of the matter.
