The Issue of Confirming Divorce

Question:
We have heard some scholars say: If a man says to his wife, "You are divorced, divorced, divorced," then this counts as one divorce. But if he says, "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced," three times, then three divorces take place. What is...?

Answer:
This is what the scholars have established. The majority of scholars agree on this: if he says, "Divorced, divorced, divorced," and does not intend three, then the second and third words confirm the first word, because he did not repeat the subject; he did not repeat the sentence. He said, "You are divorced, divorced, divorced," similar to saying, "Zayd came, Zayd, Zayd," for the sake of emphasis.
As for if he says, "You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced," or "She is divorced, she is divorced, she is divorced," and does not intend confirmation or contribution, but rather intends three and pronounces them, then the three take place. This is different from if he says, "You are divorced, divorced, divorced," or "She is divorced, divorced, divorced." In this case, only the first one takes place as a single divorce, and the second and third words confirm the first word. Nothing else takes place in this regard according to the scholars, unless he has the intention of three. If he has the intention of three, then the three take place according to the majority of scholars, indeed according to most of them, and no disagreement is known from the early scholars regarding this.
