The answer

Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it reaches a degree of emotional unconsciousness such that the person does not comprehend what they are uttering. Therefore, the divorce pronounced by an angry person whose mind has not been completely lost is valid. Since you went to court and obtained a divorce decree, this indicates that you did not reach the point of losing your mind. Consequently, your wife has become irrevocably separated from you and is forbidden to you due to the divorce you issued. She is not lawful for you until she marries another husband. It is advisable to consult the court that issued the divorce for clarification regarding your situation.
