The question

Does divorce occur as a minor irrevocable divorce (baynunah sughra) when the husband says: "From this moment, your daughter is divorced, and she is now out of my wedlock," before consummation, or does it become a major irrevocable divorce (baynunah kubra) if he later mentions "by three"?

The answer

Since the man pronounced a divorce upon his wife before consummating the marriage, she became irrevocably divorced from him with a minor irrevocable divorce (baynunah sughra). His statement "three times" in response to someone who asked him about the number of divorces does not make the divorce three, because she became irrevocably divorced from him by the first pronouncement, which did not include "three times."
