What should a woman do who pronounces a divorce upon her husband for the third time in a state of madness, and she is a mother to a child and pregnant? And does the divorce take effect in this case?

The described behavior of the husband is contrary to the morals of believers and good companionship. The principle is that anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it reaches the point of loss of awareness, like insanity. If the husband divorces in a state of anger where he is not aware of what he is saying, the divorce does not occur. Otherwise, the divorce occurs three times and she becomes completely forbidden to him. It is recommended to refer to the court for a ruling on the matter. The husband is also advised to strive against himself to get rid of anger.
