Does divorce take effect if a man says to his wife in a fit of rage: "Take your belongings, you are divorced anyway" or "Take your belongings, you will be divorced anyway," knowing that he had previously divorced her, and he suffers from depression and the evil eye?
If the husband pronounces divorce while in a state of extreme anger that overwhelms his intellect, the divorce does not take effect. However, if he is aware of what he is saying, anger is not a hindrance. The husband's statement to his wife, "You are divorced," is an explicit declaration of divorce. As for the statement, "You will be divorced," divorce does not take effect unless he intends for it to occur. Doubt concerning the occurrence of divorce does not necessitate its occurrence. The questioner is advised to consult the court or present the matter to trustworthy scholars to clarify his situation and to resolve disputes wisely while avoiding the causes of anger.
