Is the questioner still the man's wife, Islamically, after he divorced her more than once and told her: "You are not my wife," and "What was between us is over," and "You are divorced," and "You are divorced tens of times," and "You are divorced" again?
The husband's statement, "You are not my wife, and what was between us is over," is not an explicit divorce unless accompanied by the intention. However, if the husband explicitly divorces his wife with three pronouncements, such as saying "You are divorced" over the phone, then saying "You are divorced ten times," and then saying "You are divorced" again, she becomes irrevocably divorced from him (baynunah kubra) and is not lawful for him until she marries another husband, based on the Almighty's saying: (Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in kindness or release [her] with good treatment... And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until she marries another husband). If the husband claims the marriage still exists, they must refer to people of knowledge to clarify the details.
