A few days ago, my husband and I had a severe argument, after which he pronounced three divorces (talaq) to me in the presence of my mother and his brother. You mentioned that this is counted as only one divorce.
However, if a person repeatedly suffers from the intrusive thought that their marriage is no longer valid and that they are committing adultery (zina), what should be done in this situation? How can one reassure themselves and find peace in the fact that what happened was an isolated incident and the marriage remains intact?

The husband pronounced three divorces in a single sitting in front of two witnesses. Now, even though you have understood that it counts as only one divorce and things have settled between you, the question still lingers in your mind and won't go away.
Do one thing: tell your husband to pay you a dower (Mahr) and perform a new Nikkah (marriage contract) with you. Tell him that until this is done, he should not come near you. This way, he will face a consequence for his actions, it will create a sense of accountability (pressure) for him, and you will finally find heart's ease. Once the new Nikkah is performed, there will be no further reason for worry or distress.
