What is the ruling if a man says to his wife, 'You are divorced three times,' but he intended only one divorce?

Primary text

When a man says to his wife, 'You are divorced three times,' three divorces occur, even if he intended only one. This is because the explicit phrasing ('three times') is definitive, and the intention cannot contradict an explicit statement, as the explicit text is stronger. Intention is only effective in selecting from the potential meanings of a phrase, but the number three is explicit and does not admit the possibility of only one divorce; thus, intending one divorce when stating three is intending what the phrase does not bear, rendering the intention invalid.
