If I told my wife by her name something like this ‘maniya I divorce you’ ‘I divorce you’ so, I issued the word divorce twice. Then after sometime before she could finish her time of ‘iddah’ I told her one more time ‘madniya I divorce you’ and from this statement I meant divorce. So, from this would my wife be divorced? Also, when I said these words to her, there was no one around her or me, so, what is the ruling of shariah?
In this case all three divorces have been applied to the wife and she is fully divorced and no longer lawful for the husband. Now, without the ‘shari halala’ she cannot be lawful. ‘Shari halala’ is that when the woman after completing her time of ‘iddah’ would have to marry someone else and then consummate the marriage with that husband and if he divorces her or dies then she can come back to this former husband.
