Does a divorce occur with the words, "If the conversation with this person was obscene, then you are thrice divorced," if the husband said it with the intention of frightening his wife into admitting the nature of the conversation that took place between her and another person, knowing that the wife had admitted her mistake in speaking to this person?

The wife must offer sincere repentance and not revert to such behavior, for a righteous woman safeguards her husband in herself and his wealth. The divorce conditioned by the husband on his wife's speech being vulgar with another person does not occur if the wife claims otherwise, because her statement is what is considered. The husband is advised to teach his wife matters of her religion and encourage her to observe modesty and hijab, and to distance herself from places of temptation.
