The question

Does a triple divorce that occurred on separate occasions take effect, knowing that the first two divorces occurred during a period of purity after intercourse and during menstruation, and the third during a period of purity in which no intercourse took place? And can these three divorces be disregarded due to a law that places divorce under the purview of the judge and the courts? And is it permissible for the husband to continue living in an apartment located above his ex-wife's apartment after the divorce has occurred?

The answer

If the situation is as you have described, then your wife has been irrevocably divorced from you with a major (final) divorce, and she is not lawful for you until she marries another husband. The first and second bid'i (innovative) divorces are, according to the preponderant opinion, considered valid, and a claim of ignorance regarding their occurrence holds no weight. The claim that the three divorces are not binding if the law places the matter of divorce in the hands of a judge is incorrect. However, if the judge rules that the first and second divorces did not occur because they were bid'i (innovative), then his ruling is to be accepted, as a judge's ruling resolves dispute. As for your living in two separate apartments with their facilities, there is no harm in it, even if the external corridor is shared.
