If you uttered the triple divorce unknowingly due to extreme anger, then nothing is binding upon you. However, if you were aware of what you were saying, the divorce takes effect even if you did not intend it. According to the majority of scholars, the three divorces occur simultaneously, and consequently, your wife becomes unlawful to you and will not be permissible for you again until she marries another husband and he divorces her after consummating the marriage. The wife sins if she requests a divorce without a legitimate Sharia reason, unless she was not rational due to extreme anger.
