Is the aforementioned divorce considered one divorce or three divorces (Your daughter is divorced, divorced, divorced)? And is the wife required to observe 'iddah? And is it permissible for the husband to take her back after being in seclusion with her and repeating it for more than four days with foreplay occurring? And is the consent of the wife and her family required if the divorce is revocable?
If you did not intend three divorces, and you repeated the word for emphasis, then only one divorce has occurred. This divorce is considered irrevocable by the majority of scholars, and revocable by the Hanbalis due to a valid seclusion (khalwah sahihah). The view of the majority is more cautious (ahwat), and based on it, your wife has become irrevocably divorced from you, and you cannot take her back except with a new contract. As for the Hanbali madhhab, you can take her back without a new contract, and the consent of the wife or her family is not required.
