What is the ruling on a man divorcing his wife with a triple divorce if she goes to a specific house without her knowledge of his oath?
Marital life is a dwelling of comfort and tranquility, based on mutual understanding and respect, and divorce is the last resort for a wife's disobedience. The question included three issues: conditional divorce, divorce pronounced thrice, and the wife's unawareness of the divorce. The majority of scholars hold that conditional divorce occurs upon the fulfillment of the condition, and divorce pronounced thrice counts as three divorces. The wife's knowledge of the divorce is not a condition for its occurrence. Therefore, if the condition upon which the divorce was suspended is met, the wife becomes irrevocably divorced (bainunah kubra), and she is not lawful for her husband until she marries another man and he consummates the marriage with her.
