This is a suspended triple divorce contingent upon the wife leaving the house. So, if the wife leaves, a triple divorce occurs, according to what is held as authoritative by us, whether the divorce was intended or the intention was to threaten or prevent her. The pronouncement of "triple" results in a triple divorce according to the majority of scholars.
