Issuing three talaaqs when the nikaah was not consummated

Question

I wanted to ask regarding a person who got married to a woman and didn't have relations or spent time in seclusion with his wife and went to America. He did, however, touch her with lust.

After a year, he says that he, in his full senses is giving her Talaq, talaq, talaq.

What is the maslah regarding the amount of talaqs and iddat regarding this woman.

Answer

If the nikaah was not consummated and he issued three talaaqs separately, then only one talaaq-e-baain (irrevocable talaaq) will take place and she will come out of his nikaah. She will have to sit in iddat. The iddat will be three monthly cycles.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Do three talaqs in one sitting count as three?

“The law of shariah is that once the husband issues three divorces, the nikaah totally terminates and there is no way for the husband to reconcile. Both husband and wife become haraam for each other.”
