"What is the ruling on divorcing the wife in a state of extreme anger and compulsion, and repeating the word of divorce to silence her, knowing that it occurred during her menses, and the husband desires the continuation of the marriage because of the presence of children? "

Praise be to Allah. Explicit divorce, like saying \"You are divorced,\" occurs without intention, unlike divorce euphemisms, like saying \"Join your family,\" which require intention. Divorce is legislated in the case of impossibility of coexistence and harm, but it occurs even in jest. There is a difference among scholars regarding divorce during menstruation, with the majority agreeing on its occurrence. Caution must be taken in using divorce for purposes other than what it is legislated for, such as threats or relieving anger. And Allah knows best.
