A husband divorcing his wife due to the insistence of his first wife and the abundance of problems and pressures is an effective and valid divorce. It is not considered a divorce under duress unless there was genuine duress, such as a threat of death. If the divorce is less than three pronouncements, he can take her back before the expiration of her (waiting period) or with a new contract after the expiration of the iddah.
