Is my Nikah Valid?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Please can you help and let me know if my Nikkah is valid.

I was telling my wife a joke with the following words: “I know how to make you disappear”, “your divorced”. It was a joke I read, and I was using the joke on her. I can’t remember if I said “I know how to make you disappear” or “do you know how to make a wife disappear”.

1st divorce I gave was 2 years ago. I can remember the conversation but my wife dose. She says that we was both very angry and were saying hurtful things to each other and that’s when I said “I divorce you”. I can’t remember how angry or upset I was. We both regretted it and reconciled.

2nd divorce was when I was calm and I knew what I was saying.

3rd divorce was over text. I was extremely angry and was being accused. I have a tendency to get extremely angry when I am being blamed for something I didn’t do. I was sending angry and aggressive texts. I was typing fast and not taking the time to think or read what I was saying. Everything was written out of anger and I sent a text saying “I divorce you”. As soon as I realised what I sent, I automatically regretted what I sent was very upset I said that and wanted to reconcile straight away.

Please can you advise if my Nikkah is still valid?

Your query has already been answered prior to this. Our position still remains the same. Kindly see the following answer,

If you have already issued your wife three (3) divorces as explained in your query, your marriage has terminated with a permanently irrevocable divorce (talaq-e-mugallazah). It was not permissible for you to live with her. Therefore, your present query of divorce is irrelevant.
