The answer

If a husband says to his wife, "You are divorced by three," while being fully aware of what he is saying, she becomes irrevocably divorced from him with a major divorce (baynunah kubra). She does not become lawful for him again until she marries another husband willingly, consummates the marriage with him, and then he divorces her and her waiting period (iddah) from him ends. This is because the aforementioned wording pronounces a triple divorce according to the majority of scholars. However, if he was in a state of extreme anger that deprived him of his awareness, his divorce does not take effect. The presence or knowledge of the wife is not a condition for the divorce to occur. It is preferable to refer the matter to the Sharia court.
