The question

Does a divorce issued by a husband in a state of extreme anger count, followed by him taking his wife back and informing her that he did not intend divorce, after which the wife insisted on a written divorce, so the husband divorced her out of fear of the police, knowing that this is the third divorce?

The answer

A wife accusing her husband of indecency is a greater sin than accusing others. Her demanding a divorce without grave harm is a major sin, and she must repent. The first and second pronouncements of divorce are valid, unless the husband lost consciousness due to extreme anger. The third pronouncement of divorce does not take effect if you were coerced by her threat to call the police, or if you wrote it but did not utter it or intend it. It is advisable to leave disbelieving lands due to the corrupting influences therein.
