Does a divorce issued by the father in a state of extreme anger count, especially since he has issued divorces in previous states of anger?
Anger does not prevent a divorce from occurring unless the person reaches a state where he does not comprehend what he is saying. If the father consulted trustworthy scholars and they issued a that only two divorces occurred, then there is no blame upon him for acting upon their fatwa, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "So ask the people of the message if you do not know." However, if he concealed influential facts, he is accountable before Allah. It is advisable to beware of anger and laxity in divorce. If it is true that he struck you, your mother, and your brother with an iron object, then this is a clear sin and transgression. It is not permissible for fathers to supplicate against their children with evil, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not supplicate against yourselves, nor supplicate against your children, nor supplicate against your wealth; lest you coincide with an hour when Allah grants [a request] and He responds to you."
