a query on divorce

*:salam:

a muslim man in a fit of rage say’s to his muslim wife, mein tumhein/ aap ko talaaq deta hou 3 times. would the talaaq still stand according to shariah or does one need to be in control of his senses at the time?*

the divorce is valid, to the best of my knowledge....
Umar (ra) refused to give the benefit of doubt to a drunk man who divorced his wife, so i doubt how anger cud be accepted as a valid excuse....

Its difficult to give an exact advice based on such sketchy information. The person should consults a scholar of his choice for advice. There are different rules for different versions of Islam. I believe many sunni scholars would consider it a valid divorce. Shia scholars, on the other hand have a different way of counting the three divorces. Whether divorce is given in anger or not, is probably irrelevant.
