Does a triple divorce, uttered at one time, take effect if the wife is pregnant, without the knowledge of the spouses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The divorce of a pregnant woman occurs, whether the husband or wife is aware of the pregnancy or not. If a man divorces his wife three times with a single utterance, she becomes unlawful for him according to the majority of jurists. However, if he says, "You are divorced," and repeats it three times at once, then if he intended to establish new divorces, she becomes unlawful for him. But if he intended to emphasize the first divorce, it is considered a single divorce.
