Answer:
(Fatwa: 18/L=20/TL=1433)
In the question mentioned above, after you learned that “talaq should be given three times and that too in a single sitting” no other lack of knowledge is counted. According to Shariah in a place where there is no problem in learning Shariah rulings ignorance shall not be taken as an excuse. Hence your wife was divorced with three talaq mughallazah. Now without valid Halalah, it shall be unlawful to establish any physical contact with your wife. Do not judge yourself as insane because an insane person does not have the ability of learning and thinking; hence his talaq is invalid as per the Shariah. In contrary to it, you are a sane person and you are in such a place where you can learn Shariah rulings; hence this excuse shall not be applicable.
