A woman who lives with her husband after he has divorced her must ask the people of knowledge about the ruling on her staying with him, because neglecting to ask is a grave matter. We point out that the divorce of an intoxicated person is valid unless he has lost consciousness, and a triple divorce pronounced in a single utterance counts as three according to the majority of scholars. If a man divorces his wife three times and then denies it, it is not permissible for her to allow him access to herself, and she must ransom herself from him.
