What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a wife returning to her husband after her third divorce, knowing that the first two divorces occurred under duress and during menstruation?
We ask Allah to forgive you, accept your repentance, and grant you relief and a way out. Warnings have previously been issued regarding the danger of relationships between men and women through social media and their consequences, and that for one who has repented, it is legislated to conceal oneself. Regarding divorce, if the husband uttered it or wrote it with the intention of divorce, then it has occurred, and your presence is not a condition. Family pressure is not considered coercion. Divorce during menstruation is a matter of differing opinions, and the adopted on the website is that it occurs. As for your statement, "they forced me to file a khul' case," it is unclear to us whether a khul' occurred after the two divorces or if it was complementary, nor did you mention the wording of the divorce or whether a رجعة (revocation) occurred, which makes a specific fatwa impossible. We advise the husband to present the matter to trustworthy scholars to act upon their fatwa.
