If a husband says in a moment of anger, "You are divorced" and "divorced by three," and then reverts and says, "I told you that you are divorced once," does she become irrevocably divorced by three or by one?

If a husband divorces his wife while he is unconscious due to extreme anger, his divorce does not take effect. He is to be believed in this matter religiously (before God), but judicially (in court), he is not believed without evidence. So, if your husband divorced you three times while he was unconscious, he is only bound by one divorce that occurred while he was conscious, and he can take you back before the end of your waiting period (iddah).
