What is the ruling regarding a man divorcing his wife three times: the first time he uttered "You are divorced, divorced," the second time with a single pronouncement, and the third time with "Divorced, divorced, divorced," knowing that he claimed his first divorce did not count because he was angry?

Divorce is in the husband's hand, not his family's, and it becomes effective if the husband pronounces it while he is conscious. However, if he is in extreme anger and does not know what he is saying, then nothing is binding upon him.

If the first divorce was effective, then the husband pronounced the second divorce before the iddah (waiting period) expired, if he intended to emphasize the first, it is counted as one divorce. But if he did not intend to emphasize it, then they are two divorces.

If the last three divorces occurred after the first divorce became binding, or after the completion of the iddah from the previous two divorces, then they are not effective because they did not occur in a valid situation.

The iddah (waiting period) for a divorced woman is three menstrual cycles, or three months if she does not menstruate. It is advisable to refer the matter to the Sharia court.
