In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
 
There are three aspects to your query:
1.      Talaaq given in menses
2.      Husband denying giving Talaaq
3.       Husband making Rujooh and wife not consenting
The answers are given as follows:
1.      Talaaq issued during menses will be effective, whether the husband was aware of the menses or not.
وإذا طلق الرجل امرأته في حالة الحيض وقع الطلاق (فتح القدير ،مكتبه رشيديه، ص 338،ج3 )
 
2.      If the wife heard that the husband issued her a Talaaq, or she was informed by a reliable witness of the same, and the husband denies it, It will not be permissible for her to grant access to her husband over her.
 
 
والمرأة كالقاضي إذا سمعته أو أخبرها عدل لا يحل له تمكينه {رد المحتار ج3 ص251 سعيد}
فتاوي رحمية ج8 ص283268}
 
 
3.      If the husband makes Rujooh verbally, for example he says I take you back as my wife etc. it will take place irrespective of the wife’s reaction. Consummation is not a condition for the validity of Rujooh. Also if the wife did not positively respond to the husband in consummation, the Rujooh will be valid.
قوله وتصح في العدة إن لم يطلق ثلاثا ولو لم ترض         (بحر الراحق ص50، ج4)
The Rujooh will only be valid during Iddat. If her Iddat terminated, it will not be valid. If the spouses want to reconcile, a new Nikah will need to be made.
إذا طلق الرجل امرأته تطليقةً رجعيةً أو تطليقتين فله أن يراجعها في عدتها، رضيت بذلك أو لم ترض.
(فتح القدير ،مكتبه رشيديه، ص 14،ج4 )
And Allah knows best
