The answer

Explicit divorce occurs even if the husband is joking or intending to threaten. The fatwa dictates that a triple divorce pronounced as "three" counts as three, unless the husband was in a state of extreme anger that deprived him of his awareness of what he was saying; in which case, the divorce does not occur. It is advisable to present the matter to the Sharia court or trusted scholars before informing the family, to avoid hindering reconciliation.
