What is the ruling on a divorce pronounced by a person suffering from ADHD, anxiety, and depression, who uttered it during intense anger and while having stopped taking sedatives? And what is the ruling on embryos created before the divorce occurred and before they were implanted in the womb?
If a divorce is issued by a responsible and volitional husband, it is effective, even if he was angry or mentally ill, unless anger or illness deprived him of his sanity. In that case, his divorce is null and void. If your husband pronounced the divorce while he was not in control of his faculties, then his divorce is not valid; otherwise, it is valid. If the divorce was less than three pronouncements, he can take you back during your iddah (waiting period).
It is not permissible to implant a fertilized egg into the womb if the divorce is irrevocable, because procreation must occur within the framework of an existing marital relationship.
