The ruling on one who divorces his wife in a state of anger

Question:
This is a question from the listener (M. A. A.) from Riyadh. He says: I married a girl, and I did not consummate the marriage. A dispute arose between us because she wanted to go to her parents' house, and I prevented her. However, when she did not stop, I became extremely angry with her, and I said to her: "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced." I wanted her to be afraid and return, but she did not agree. Then I traveled from my country to another country, and I sent money to her and her family. When I returned, I took her back without performing expiation. Is there anything required of me in this matter or not? Please inform us, may Allah preserve you.

Answer:
We see that you should attend with her before the honorable judge in your region, so that he can look into the matter, write down what happened between you two, and issue a ruling on what he sees, or write to me about this matter. This requires looking into the nature of your anger and its causes. So, you attend before the judge in your region, and he—may Allah will it—will look into the matter and issue a ruling on what he sees, or write to me about the nature of the situation. I will then look into it, along with an explanation of the causes of the anger, your state during the anger, and its intensity. Yes.
