Divorce is not the ideal solution for marital disputes; rather, they should be overcome through understanding, patience, and good character. Divorce is subject to the five legal rulings. "In a week, you will be divorced" is a promise of divorce that is not binding and does not take effect. The divorce of an angry person does not take effect if his anger is so severe that he loses awareness of what he is saying; otherwise, it is valid.
