The answer

Your statement to your wife, "You are divorced," is an explicit pronouncement by which divorce takes place, whether you intended the divorce or were driven by anger, as long as you were aware of what you were saying and did not lose your sanity. Your belief that this pronouncement of divorce is the third or second does not affect the occurrence of your divorce. The marriage of an adulterer to a pregnant woman as a result of his adultery is a matter of scholarly disagreement regarding its validity, and the fatwa adopted by us is that it is invalid. However, since it is a matter of disagreement, the divorce in it is effective. Therefore, this pronouncement of divorce is the third. We advise you to present your case to scholars at the Islamic center in your country and act according to their response.
