Does a triple divorce, issued under different circumstances including extreme anger, duress, and divorce during a period of purity in which intercourse occurred, take effect, and is it permissible to take back the wife after these divorces, especially given the presence of children and the desire to raise them according to the Islamic faith in a foreign country?

We advise the questioner to directly address their question to a scholar or an Islamic center. Generally, mere anger does not prevent a divorce from occurring, and the ruling on it varies depending on the circumstances. A husband divorcing his wife during a period of purity (tuhr) in which he had intercourse with her is a type of innovative divorce (talaq bid'i), and the majority of scholars hold that it takes effect, which is the fatwa we issue. A mere quarrel is not considered duress (ikrah) that prevents a divorce from occurring; the duress that is legally recognized is that which occurs through a threat or what is highly likely to cause harm to one's person or property without a direct threat. Affection and respect should prevail between spouses, and problems should be avoided as much as possible. One should also refrain from uttering words of divorce, guard against anger, and each spouse should fulfill their duties towards the other.
