Is a wife divorced by menstruation or by extreme anger?
Divorce occurs if the husband is conscious, and his wife is under his legal authority or in her revocable waiting period (' raj'iyyah), by an explicit pronouncement or an implicit one with the intention. If you divorce your wife three times while you are conscious, she becomes irrevocably separated from you, and she is not lawful for you until she marries another man and he consummates the marriage with her, and then he divorces her. However, if one of the pronouncements of divorce occurs after the waiting period has ended without reconciliation, it does not take effect. And the occurrence of divorce during menstruation is valid according to the majority of scholars.
