The answer

Divorcing a pregnant woman is valid and is considered a divorce according to the , not an innovated divorce (bid‘i) as some might think. The ruling on the divorce of an angry person varies according to the intensity of the anger. If the anger completely removes one's intellect, then the divorce does not occur. If the anger is at its beginning and the angry person is aware of what he is saying and intends it, then the divorce occurs. If the anger is severe but does not completely remove one's intellect, yet it prevents careful consideration and deliberation, then this is a matter of (independent juristic reasoning). There is also a disagreement regarding the ruling on someone who utters an incomplete divorce pronouncement. We advise couples to avoid marital problems and strive to resolve them wisely.
