What is the expiation for one who made his wife's divorce conditional upon her entering and working in his family's kitchen, and he regrets it and wants her to do so?
We understand from the question that your maternal uncle made his wife's divorce contingent upon her entering his parents' kitchen and working in it. If the wife enters the kitchen with the intention of working in it, then divorce occurs according to the majority of scholars.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah stated that an expiation for an oath is obligatory if the husband did not intend divorce, and he can retract his oath if he intended divorce, not just the oath.
The preponderant opinion is that of the majority of scholars, which is the occurrence of divorce upon the breach of the condition.
If this is not the third divorce, the husband can take his wife back before the ' (waiting period) ends. However, if the 'iddah has expired, she is not permissible for him except with a new marriage contract.
If this is the third divorce, she is not permissible for him until she marries another man and he consummates the marriage with her, and then he divorces her or dies.
