Writing a divorce does not enact it unless intended by the husband. There is a disagreement among jurists regarding uttering the three divorces in a single pronouncement: whether it counts as three or one. The preponderant opinion for us is that it counts as three. It is preferable to consult the court to ascertain the husband's intention, and because a judge's ruling resolves disputes. Respect and understanding should prevail in married life, along with knowledge of rights. Caution should be exercised against hastening divorce and exhausting other means of resolution.
