If a non-married man says, “I divorce her,” does his wife get divorced if he marries her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a non-married man saying, “I divorce her”? Does the woman he marries later get divorced? If he specified her and said, “I divorce so-and-so,” and then married her, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement

Answer:
among the scholars, and the correct view is that she is not divorced; because when he pronounced the divorce, he was not her husband. The divorce was pronounced in a state where he was not her husband, so it has no effect.
