Does a divorce that occurred under the threat of a guardian take effect after two previous divorces in which reconciliation took place?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The first two divorces have occurred. As for the third divorce, which took place under duress, if the duress is considered religiously valid (i.e., a threat of death or severe beating from someone capable, and it is highly probable that the threat will be carried out), then the divorce is not considered valid according to the majority of scholars. However, if the duress is not considered religiously valid, then the divorce has occurred, and the wife is irrevocably divorced (Bainunah Kubra), and she is not permissible for you until she marries another husband.
