Did divorce occur with the verbal utterance of "divorce," given the presence of obsessive thoughts about divorce and anger from the wife, and is the intention of anger considered an intention of divorce?

Such whisperings do not cause divorce to occur, for divorce does not occur with doubt because the default is the continuation of the marriage. Likewise, the divorce of one who is afflicted with whisperings, due to those whisperings, does not occur. What is obligatory is to turn away from these whisperings and not pay attention to them, to seek Allah's help, and to make abundant supplications to get rid of them.
