Does a third divorce take effect if it occurred under the influence of extreme anger, and is it true that the wife is still married to her husband after the third divorce, on the claim of sorcery?
The majority of scholars hold that anger which does not completely remove one's sanity does not prevent the occurrence of divorce, and this is the relied-upon opinion for fatwa. The effect of magic does not prevent the occurrence of divorce. The decisive factor is the husband's state at the time of divorce: if he was aware and acting by choice, then his divorce is effective. The husband should present these matters to a Sharia judge or to scholars.
