Is a husband's pronouncement of divorce to his wife while under the influence of jinn possession—and he reviewed his decision the following day—considered an irreversible divorce, knowing that the wife is now demanding 40 grams of gold to return to the marital home?
The most appropriate approach in matters of dispute and contention, such as divorce, is to go to the court so that the judge can hear from both parties, and his ruling will be binding and resolve the disagreement.
The general rule is that a husband's divorce takes effect simply by uttering the words, and nothing prevents its occurrence unless the one pronouncing the divorce is not aware of what he is saying.
If a divorce has occurred and this is not the third pronouncement, the husband may reconcile with his wife during her ' (waiting period) without her consent, and the wife is not entitled to stipulate money or gold for reconciliation.
The wife is entitled to the mahr (dowry) from her husband, and to maintenance for food, clothing, and housing, commensurate with what is sufficient. He is not obligated to pay for university tuition fees, but if he does pay them, it is a good deed that the wife should appreciate.
