Does a divorce take effect when a husband seriously says to his wife twice: "I will divorce you, and I want you to marry someone else"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
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.
