What is the ruling on divorcing a woman who is experiencing severe morning sickness and, in a state of extreme anger, requested a divorce from her husband, to which he replied, "You are divorced," and this was the third divorce?

The husband's statement to his wife, "You are divorced," is an explicit pronouncement that effects divorce. The divorce of a pregnant woman is valid, and the wife's anger does not affect the validity of the divorce. If this was the third pronouncement, the wife is irrevocably divorced and is not permissible for her husband until she marries another man willingly, and he then separates from her.
