The answer

It appears the questioner is suffering from obsessive thoughts (waswasah) concerning the issue of mockery. He should discard these thoughts and not indulge them, for waswasah is a severe illness, and indulging it leads to confusion, pathological doubt, distress, and legal hardship. The wife remains a wife, and the solution to the problem is found in the aforementioned fatwas.
