What is the ruling regarding a husband's statement to his wife: "If you like your family's home, stay there your whole life; may God protect you, and don't ever come back to me, there are many others besides you," knowing that his intention was not divorce, and reconciliation occurred the following day?

This phrase is not considered a divorce as long as you intended it as a warning and discipline for your wife and did not intend to divorce her. So, live with your wife as if nothing happened and rid yourself of obsessive thoughts. We advise you and your wife to be keen on understanding and respect, and to avoid problems.
