If a husband divorces his wife by 'kinayah' (implication) without uttering the explicit words of divorce, and then takes her back, or if this occurs three times, does the divorce become definitive, and what is incumbent upon the husband in this situation?

Divorce occurs through explicit words or allusions (kinayat) if the husband intends divorce. Upon its occurrence, its rulings and consequences take effect. If the husband intends a triple divorce through allusions, his wife becomes irrevocably divorced from him, and she is not lawful for him until she marries another man, consummates the marriage with him, and then he divorces her. The husband must fear Allah and learn from this experience by not rushing to threaten divorce.
