Does a husband's divorce of his wife during a moment of anger count as a valid divorce, especially since the wife has not left the marital home?
The divorce of an angry person does not occur if his anger is severe and he loses consciousness with it. However, if he is aware of what he is saying, then a divorce counts and is valid against him, even if the wife remains in her home. The wife is obliged to stay in the marital home for the duration of the 'iddah (waiting period), and the husband has the right to take her back before the 'iddah ends, provided that this divorce does not complete the three divorces.
