Does saying "I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you" while experiencing psychological distress and lack of focus constitute an irrevocable major divorce, and can this type of divorce be reversed for the sake of raising children?
If the judge has ruled your wife to be irrevocably divorced ( bainunah kubra), then there is no way for you to take her back unless she marries another man, consummates the marriage with him, and then he divorces her. However, if the court merely issued a divorce document without ruling upon it, then what matters is what you uttered: If you said "Divorced, divorced, divorced" and intended to effect three divorces, then the majority of scholars hold that all three divorces occur, and it becomes an irrevocable divorce (bainunah kubra). But if you intended only one divorce and repeated it for emphasis, or did not intend anything specific, then only one divorce occurs. It is advisable to consult the Sharia court regarding this matter.
