Is the husband's statement to his wife, "Insha'Allah, I will not divorce you," considered a conditional divorce dependent on the will of Allah, such that the divorce occurs if the husband deems it desirable to divorce her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A husband's statement to his wife: "I will not divorce you, God willing," is a promise not to divorce in the future. It does not entail any rulings of divorce, nor does it prevent the husband from divorcing her in the future if a reason for it arises. However, divorce does not occur except by uttering it, and a husband's mere decision to divorce within himself has no consequence.
