A divorce issued by a person suffering from obsessive-comp compulsive disorder (Waswas) without intention or while unconscious is not valid. However, if such a person pronounces divorce while fully aware and by choice, then it is valid. The determining factor is the husband's state at the moment he utters the divorce. It is advisable to present the matter to trustworthy scholars.
