The Ruling on the Divorce of a Drunkard
A man frequently divorces his wife, and he has pronounced three divorces on her, the third one while he was under the influence of alcohol, and he was not in his right mind. Can he contest this divorce in court? Does the divorce of a drunkard take effect?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The divorce of a drunk person is a matter of dispute. If the law states that it does not occur, one can challenge that. And God knows best.
