What should a wife do if her husband divorces her with a triple oath during a moment of anger?
If the husband says: "By triple divorce, I will divorce you today," this is an oath that he will divorce on this day. There is a detailed explanation according to the preponderant opinion:
- If he intended to threaten or to urge himself to divorce, it has the ruling of an oath. If he does not divorce during the day, he has broken his oath, and an expiation for an oath becomes obligatory upon him.
- If by his statement: "By triple divorce," he intended that divorce would befall him if he did not divorce during the day, then one divorce occurs.
