Mights sound like a silly question, i just need clarity of this issue. Shafi

Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
If a husband issued his wife three talaqs in one sitting or in different sittings, that will be regarded as talaq-e-mughallazah (a permanently irrevocable divorce). They cannot live together as husband and wife even though the authority (Muslim Assembly) has two talaqs recorded.
And Allah knows best
