What is the ruling on someone who swore an oath to divorce his wife—and his intention was divorce—if she left the house, and she then left and returned to block the road, knowing that she is nine months pregnant and he has divorced her twice, having taken her back the first time, and the sheikhs issued a fatwa allowing him to pay an expiation for an oath for the second time?

If you swore by divorce that your wife should not leave, and she left, then the divorce has occurred. If you have not completed three divorces, according to the fatwa of scholars, you can take her back before the end of her waiting period (iddah) by giving birth. If she gives birth before you take her back, you do not have the right to take her back except with a new marriage contract.
