Does the third divorce pronouncement, uttered by the husband in a state of extreme anger after two previous divorce pronouncements, count, knowing that the wife suffers from a nervous disorder and used to provoke him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it reaches a degree where the person does not comprehend what they are saying. A wife's threat to her husband with something that harms her or her fetus does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless the matter reaches the level of compelling coercion (ikrah mulji’). Accordingly, it is necessary to determine what occurred regarding the three divorces, as it is possible that the wife has become irrevocably divorced (bainunah kubra), and it is recommended to consult a scholar or an Islamic court.
