Is a religious marriage harmed if a couple divorces as a formality for some formal and material interests?

Dear Brother / Sister,

First of all, we do not advice such a divorce. For, divorce is valid even if it is uttered jokingly. Therefore, the spouses that are divorced formally are also divorced religiously. However, one talaq decreases. Since the man has two more rights of talaq, he can marry his spouse again. 

According to the religion of Islam, the husband was given the authority to divorce since he is more deliberate, farseeing and less emotional. The Quran states it clearly.

It is not religiously possible for a person who divorces his wife three times before or after applying to the court to be together with his wife again.  If he has not divorced his wife before or after applying the court, he is regarded to have given the authority to divorce to the judge, that is, he appoints him as his deputy, when he applies to the court; therefore, when the judge divorces them, one talaq decreases.

However, he has two more talaq rights. Accordingly, there is no drawback to being together with his wife religiously. However, we do not know the type of divorce decided by the court - that is, if it is a revocable or irrevocable divorce - ; therefore, it is necessary to renew the marriage (nikah) in order to come together again.
