Does an orally pronounced triple divorce, uttered with the intention of hesitation, take effect in the absence of the wife, and is it permissible to conceal the marriage from her family for two years due to the repercussions of such disclosure?

The occurrence of divorce does not depend on the wife's presence or knowledge. However, it is necessary to ascertain the uttered words and the intent behind any repetition, as well as whether this occurred before consummation or after a valid private seclusion (khalwah sahihah). This issue requires further clarification and there is disagreement among scholars regarding it. Therefore, it is advisable to refer to the Sharia (definition) court or trusted scholars.
