Reason for a woman marrying another man after the third talaaq

Q: I have been contemplating and reflecting a lot the past few months. We all know there is great Hikmah behind everything, Allah is The Most Wise... We would never be able to even comprehend His wisdom SubhanAllah.

I was pondering on something... When a man gives a woman the 3rd talaq, the woman becomes completely impermissible for him... She needs to marry another man, consummate that before and then she is able to go back to the former husband (this can't be planned out though).

As I said we would never be able to contemplate the wisdom of Allah. But I do ponder why that is... What is the reason for this SubhanAllah?

Is it so the woman can experience another marriage to someone else to see if he appreciates her etc? Is it a kind of punishment for the man for going so extreme to give a 3rd talaq. SubhanAllah I'm just pondering. I wish I knew the tafsir for this verse or if anyone has more knowledge on this please.

A: The wisdom of Allah is known best by Allah Ta`ala. This is also possible that one person does not appreciate her and it is also possible that he will appreciate her after some time.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
