Does the above invalidate their nikah and talaq binding upon them?

Question

An Indonesian muslimah pushed her husband a little too hard in their quarrel at home, in which she said “break off our marriage if you think I am controlling your life too much”.  He, a white American revert for 7 years, at the peak of his anger, said “divorce” three times to her in English.  They have been married for ten years and have a nine year old daughter.

Question:  Does the above invalidate their nikah and talaq binding upon them?

Answer

Muhtaram / Muhtaramah

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.

 

According to all four Schools of Thought (4 Madhahib) all three divorces are valid. That constitutes a Talaaw e Mughallaza. ( A permenantly  irrevocable divorce ). They cannot live together as Husband and Wife.
