The answer

The phrase "You are not my wife" is one of the allusive expressions of divorce. Divorce occurs through it if the husband intends it, and he is to be believed regarding his intention. As for divorce during menstruation or during a period of purity in which he had intercourse with her, it is an innovated divorce, forbidden by consensus, but it is considered valid by the majority of scholars. Regarding the divorce certificate and its details, the matter is referred to the Sharia court or the judge who prepared the document.
