Does a divorce occur by saying, "And by God Almighty, may this marriage go to hell with such humiliation," during an argument with the father before consummation?

The statement mentioned is not explicit about divorce; therefore, it does not constitute a divorce unless intended. The presence of the wife is not a condition for divorce to occur. It is obligatory to honor and be good to one's parents, and it is not permissible to quarrel with them or use harsh words against them. Allah Almighty says: (And your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [even] 'uff,' and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, 'My Lord, have mercy upon them as they raised me when I was small.')
