Does a divorce pronounced with the formula "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" take effect, considering immediate retraction and seeking refuge with Allah, and its occurrence during intense anger that impaired understanding, and after a sister was alerted that the triple divorce had taken place?
Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless the person loses consciousness and does not realize what he has uttered. If he is conscious of what he said, then his statement: "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" constitutes one divorce, unless the husband intended to effect three divorces, in which case three divorces occur.
A Muslim should guard against anger, and the husband cannot revoke the divorce after uttering it. He may take his wife back after the first or second divorce. However, after the third divorce, she cannot be taken back until she marries another husband. Divorce is not the ideal solution for marital problems.
