The question

What is the religious ruling on the statement "I swear by triple divorce that she will not enter the apartment," and does divorce occur if the intention was merely to threaten? And does divorce occur with the statement "I swear by divorce that I will not let you into the house," accompanied by insults and curses in a fit of extreme anger? And what should the husband do regarding his mother-in-law who insulted his mother, and how can he reclaim his mother's right?

The answer

The alternative to the mother-in-law entering the home is for the wife to visit her mother, with other alternatives for maintaining kinship ties such as phone calls and giving gifts.

One should be cautious of anger and avoid using divorce pronouncements as a means to solve problems.

A Muslim must accept the apology of one who apologizes. If the wife's mother apologizes to the husband's mother, then the wife's mother has the right to forgiveness, and this is a noble quality.

The questioner should reconcile between his mother and his mother-in-law. If the wife's mother did not curse the husband's mother, then it is preferable not to inform her [the husband's mother], and the wife's mother should frequently pray for the husband's mother.
