Does a divorce take effect with the husband's words "this is what we see happening" when the wife asks: "Is she who does that divorced?" bearing in mind that the wife was asking about herself?

What the husband said does not constitute a divorce, whether the husband intended his wife or someone else, or whether the wife understood it to refer to herself or someone else. This statement is not suitable for initiating a divorce or for making it conditional, so nothing results from it. It is advisable to beware of obsessive thoughts regarding divorce or other matters, for turning away from them is the best remedy.
