A case was referred during our Prophet’s period that a husband had announced talaq to his wife in anger in the night. As the person had announced talaq only in anger, the Prophet asked him : What have you decided now?
This means that if talaq is announced in anger, it is not valid. When the quarrel cools down, whatever the husband decides later is only valid, i.e., whether he still intends it as talaq or not.
2. If he did not say in clear words : “I am giving you talaq”, it does not mean he has utilized the talaq option, but if he used the word talaq as general conversation, or also told the wife: If you don’t do this or that, I will give you talaq, it does not take effect.
3. If at all he had given talaq, whether he had said it once or many times, only one talaq has been used. There are two more chances available as per Islam, which please read below for details.
4. Please note that the triple talaq is un-Islamic, because it cuts off the marriage in one go, which is not as per Islam not as per Quran.
The ancient Arabs used to practice triple talaq to immediately cut off the marriage relationship. After the Quran was revealed to our Prophet, he had banned the use of triple talaq and introduced the Islamic way of Three Talaqs. However, a case was reported to Prophet that a certain Muslim has announced triple talaq upon which the Prophet became very angry and uttered : “Are you trifling (playing) with Quran while I am still alive?” This doubly proves that triple talaq is not only un-Islamic, against the teachings of Quran, but also it is a proof that the Prophet had personally objected to the use of triple talaq.
If the anger reached a level where the individual did not know what he was saying, or it was extreme anger that made him issue the divorce , and were it not for the anger he would not have issued the divorce, then it does not count as a divorce .
