Divorcing the Wife Three Times

Question
My husband divorced me for the first time and then took me back. After a while, he divorced me a second time and took me back again. These divorces were not registered in court. A week ago, during a phone call, he divorced me for the third time. I am in a foreign country, and I have no one but my husband and children. What is the ruling on this third divorce?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If this is the third pronouncement that has come from your husband, you have become irrevocably divorced from him and you cannot return to him unless you marry someone else. It is necessary to consult the mufti to verify the situation, and God knows best.
