The answer

If the Shariah contract has been concluded, then you are a legal wife, and the rulings of divorce apply to you. If what your husband uttered was an intimation of divorce (such as "I have separated from you") and he intended jest and did not intend divorce, then no divorce occurs, because intimations do not result in divorce except with intention. However, if the Shariah contract has not been concluded, then his words have no effect.
