Does a divorce occur with the husband's statement, "I will divorce you after we return to our country"?

Divorce does not take effect merely by the husband promising it, for the marital bond remains. If the husband is dating other girls, he is doing wrong, and he should be advised by supplicating for his guidance and repentance. There should be no haste in seeking divorce due to the harms it entails, especially for the children.
