Does a divorce pronounced by a husband in a state of extreme anger, depression, and unconsciousness of what he is saying and doing take effect, especially since he is suffering from difficult health and psychological conditions, and has uttered it more than once?

The states of divorce during anger have been previously explained. If the husband utters a divorce while his mind is overwhelmed, his divorce does not take effect, whether it was before or after consummation. However, if his anger did not deprive him of his awareness, his divorce is effective. The fact that it occurred before consummation makes it an irrevocable divorce, in which he does not have the right of return. If he takes you back after this divorce without renewing the contract, you are not his wife, and his divorce does not apply to you. He must renew the contract in the presence of your guardian and two witnesses if you both wish to marry. It is incumbent upon anyone whose behavior is in such a state to seek treatment for himself.
