Divorcing the wife thrice

Q: A person divorced his wife twice then remarried her with a new contract and Mahr (mandatory gift to a bride from her groom). Afterwards, he divorced her for the third time in return for waiving the rest of her Mahr and some other consideration. Now she wants to return to her ex-husband. What is the ruling on this? It should be mentioned that the three divorces are registered in the attached document issued by the Court of Al-Haqw.


A: Since it has been proven that the husband has divorced his wife thrice, according to what has been mentioned in the question and in the attached document, she becomes unlawful for him unless she marries another man and consummates the marriage. If the second husband divorces her or dies, it will be permissible for the first husband to remarry her with the conclusion of a new marriage contract and the payment of a new Mahr, provided that she gives her consent to remarry him. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
