What is the ruling regarding a husband saying to his wife, "You are divorced," during a severe quarrel, loss of self-control, and anger, without a premeditated intention for divorce?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A husband's statement to his wife, "You are divorced," is an explicit pronouncement of divorce, and divorce occurs with it without the need for intention. So, if the husband utters this word while conscious and not overcome by his emotions, his divorce is effective, even if he was extremely angry. Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it reaches a level that causes loss of awareness.
