Wael's Answer:

Sister Saj, As-salamu alaykum

"Halala" is a haram and cursed process. See my previous answer on this subject here:

Allah's laws are not a game to be played with, or to try to find loopholes. If you have divorced three times, then you are not compatible and it is time to move on with your life and find someone else Insha'Allah.

What causes some people to be confused is that there is one exception under which a three-times divorced couple can marry again. But it is not based on "halala" or loopholes or artificial marriages.

If, in the course of your life, you marry someone else sincerely intending to stay with him/her for life, but for some reason it does not work out and ends in divorce... and if, after that time, your first spouse is single and consents to marry you, then you can marry. The key is sincerity and honesty, not trying to play games with Allah's shari'ah.
