Does a divorce occur with the husband's statement: "If you leave the house, you will be divorced" or "Leave the house and you are divorced"?

A distinction must be made between the husband being trusted concerning his denial of divorce unless evidence is established, and the wife being obligated to observe the waiting period (iddah) for a divorce if she is certain it occurred. If the husband claims he did not utter an explicit divorce but only threatened, he is to be believed. His merely having sexual intercourse with you during the waiting period is considered a return (to the marital relationship) if it was the first or second divorce. However, if it was the third divorce and the wife is certain that he uttered the explicit divorce pronouncement, then it is not permissible for her to remain with him.
