Question: A man divorced his wife three times, and after that her father returned her to him, and they lived together thereafter, and she bore him two sons. Is that permissible for him or not?
Answer: This question is ambiguous. If the triple divorce was separate and she has gone through a major separation, she is not permissible for him again until she marries another husband, a marriage of desire, and the second husband divorces her, so that the first husband marries her with a new contract.
Question: Does he also divorce her with his consent?
Answer: Yes, he divorces her of his own choice.
As for if the triple divorce was in a single utterance, there is scholarly disagreement regarding this situation. If one of the scholars issued a ruling for him to take her back and he took her back, there is no harm on him in that.
And the conclusion: We see that he should consult a judge, or a trusted mufti in his region, and explain to him the details of what happened, and he will find, if Allah wills, the correct solution.
