Does a divorce take place and a wife become unlawful to her husband who divorced her three separate times—knowing that he was angry and had two previous divorces—and he wants to take her back?
Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce as long as the person is aware of what he is saying and is not overcome by his intellect. Repeating the word of divorce with the intention of emphasis results in only one divorce. If you uttered the divorce while overcome by your intellect, your divorce is not effective, and you may reconcile with your wife before the expiration of her waiting period if you have not completed three effective divorces. However, if you have completed three effective divorces, your wife has become irrevocably divorced from you, and she is not lawful for you unless she marries someone else, and then the new husband divorces her after consummation or dies, and her waiting period expires. It is advisable to present the matter to the court or to trustworthy scholars.
