Is the third divorce considered to have taken place after the husband discovered hidden emails of his wife, which she claimed were for discussing cosmetics, taking into account her history of forming relationships for marriage or entertainment online? Is it permissible for a married Muslim woman, or one in her waiting period (iddah), to access chat or marriage websites or allow non-mahram men to converse with her and see her? Is the husband sinful for providing internet access to his wife, and what should he do?

What the woman did before the suspension of divorce has no effect. If she does something after the suspension that triggers the divorce, then it occurs. However, if the purpose of the suspension was to prevent her from contacting for marriage or amusement, then the divorce is not triggered by her contacting to inquire about cosmetics. She must absolutely avoid conversing with non-mahram (definition) men. The man is responsible for his household, so if he strongly believes that the internet is a cause of their corruption, then he is not permitted to introduce it or enable them to use it without supervision. It is not permissible for a Muslim woman, whether married or unmarried, to converse with non-mahram men online or enable them to see her, and the sin is greater if she is married or in a revocable divorce (ṭalāq rajʿī).
