Does a triple divorce take effect if the husband pronounces it in writing while under the influence of drugs, given that the wife does not own the object sworn upon?
We have previously clarified that if someone consumes an intoxicant, their divorce takes effect if they are aware of their actions; otherwise, it does not. A written divorce is a figurative expression and does not take effect unless intended by the husband. Divorcing three times with a single utterance counts as three divorces according to the majority of jurists.
This matter involves possibilities and differences of opinion among jurists. It is best for the husband to seek a from a scholar or consult the court.
We emphasize the impermissibility of narcotics, and the impermissibility of taking a person's money without their willing consent. We also note that a woman has an independent financial standing, and finally, that marriage is a solemn covenant that should not be weakened by divorce for the slightest reason.
