The answer

If the husband says to his wife: "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced," without intending repetition, only one divorce occurs. If this divorce does not complete the three (talaqs), then the husband may take his wife back before the expiry of her 'iddah (waiting period). Both spouses must live together amicably and beware of anger, as it is the key to evil.
