Does a triple divorce befall the wife if her husband said to her, "You are thrice divorced if you have previously left while I was absent," and he was in a state of extreme anger, knowing that he had forbidden her from leaving the house, and he later discovered that she had indeed left?
The divorce of an angry person is considered effective if he is aware of what he is saying; otherwise, nothing is binding upon him.
Suspending divorce on a past event is considered effective. If the suspended divorce is pronounced three times, it takes effect as three divorces according to the majority of scholars, and the wife becomes irrevocably divorced (baynunah kubra). Some scholars, however, are of the view that it counts as one divorce.
If you suspended your wife's triple divorce on her going out in the past, and this is not proven by two witnesses, then the divorce is not binding upon you. This is because evidence for divorce is not established by one woman alone. Therefore, your wife's going out, which would result in her divorce, is not proven by the testimony of your daughter.
