The ruling on three talaqs to a wife with whom the marriage was not consummated

Question

In the case of which persons does only one talaq occur when they give three talaqs?

Answer

Whoever gives talaq to a wife with whom the marriage was not consummated with three words — only one talaq will take effect for him: [ar]طلق غير الموطوءة ثلاثاً وقعن، وإن فرق بانت بواحدة[/ar] “If he pronounced talaq three times upon a woman with whom he had not had intercourse, they take effect; but if he separated them, she becomes irrevocably separated (ba’in)
