The answer

If you divorced your wife with a triple divorce, intentionally and while fully conscious, then the three divorces have taken effect. Anger, illness, or intoxication are not considered valid excuses as long as you were fully conscious. Thus, your wife has become irrevocably divorced from you (baynunah kubra), and you cannot take her back unless she marries another man, and then he divorces her or dies, and her 'iddah (waiting period) expires. It is advisable to present the matter to a Sharia court or a reliable scholar.
