Has the divorce occurred twice based on the mentioned events, and what are the implications if the husband swears to divorce should the wife resort to someone?
Swearing an oath by divorce results in divorce according to the majority of scholars, and this is the relied-upon opinion. So, if the wife disobeys what her husband swore by, she is divorced. If this divorce is the third, then it constitutes an irrevocable major divorce (baynunah kubra), unless the second divorce occurred during extreme anger, in which case it is not counted. As for the view of Ibn Taymiyyah, if the husband did not intend to effect a divorce but rather to threaten, then no divorce occurs; instead, he is obligated to offer an expiation for an oath (kaffarat ). It is preferable to present the matter to a court or to trustworthy scholars.
