Obtaining a divorce decree from the court for three separate divorces without pronouncing them: Are they considered three divorces?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have been married for four years, and Allah has blessed us with a daughter. Our marriage continued well, without anything to disturb it. One day, a misunderstanding occurred that led to a dispute between us, so I went to the court. I was nervous and in a bad psychological state, so I obtained a divorce decree from the court for three separate divorces, without pronouncing them. I have never divorced her before. Is this considered three irrevocable divorces, or one divorce? If it is considered one divorce, what should I do to correct the decree?

Answer:
Since a decree for three separate divorces was issued by the court at the hand of the judge, this woman is not subject to revocation; she does not have the right to be taken back. A major separation has occurred, and she cannot be taken back. If you have a doubt about what was issued from you, you should return to the judge who issued the decree and ask him about what is unclear to you. Yes. He says, meaning, he obtained the decree without pronouncing the divorces. We have no involvement in this, as long as the matter was issued by the court and at the hand of the judge. The reference for this is the judge; we have no involvement in this matter.
