How many times has a divorce been issued to the wife, especially since the first time it was issued during the husband's intense anger, and the second time it was issued while the wife was menstruating?

If the husband utters a divorce statement while angry and not knowing what he is saying, then nothing is incumbent upon him. However, if he is aware of what he is saying, then the divorce is effective, and he can reconcile with his wife before her waiting period (iddah) ends. The second divorce that occurs during menstruation is effective according to the majority of scholars. Therefore, the second divorce is counted, as is the first if the husband was aware at the time, and she will have one divorce remaining. It must be emphasized that it is not permissible to beat the wife severely, and it is forbidden for the wife to seek a divorce unless there is clear harm.
