Does the divorce of the one suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder count if there is doubt about it days later, and what are the cases in which his divorce counts if he does not intend it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The divorce pronounced by someone overwhelmed by obsessive doubts, whose mind is overcome by these doubts, is not effective, whether he uttered an explicit divorce or an implicit one, whether he intended it or not. Divorce does not occur by merely mentioning its explicit word in the context of recounting or discussing. However, if he divorces by choice and is fully aware of what he is saying, then his divorce is effective. One must disregard obsessive doubts. When a divorce issue arises that is not due to obsessive doubts, one should consult trustworthy scholars.
