The answer

The husband's statement, "I will divorce you," is a promise of divorce; no divorce takes place by it, and it is not recommended to fulfill it. Similarly, his statement, "And I want you to marry someone else," is neither an explicit divorce nor an ambiguous expression that could imply divorce. Rather, it is an expression of a future desire for divorce, and no divorce takes place by it.
