The answer

Not every disagreement is a cause for divorce; rather, divorce occurs due to persistent discord and the impossibility of marital cohabitation. Reconciliation and arbitration must precede divorce, and if reconciliation is not possible, separation is permissible. Divorce is detested by Allah the Almighty. An explicit utterance of divorce effects two divorces. As for the third divorce uttered in a state of anger, if the anger was so severe as to cause a lack of awareness of what was being said, then the divorce does not take effect. The questioner is advised to consult the court, not to rush into divorce, and to control their words.
