Does divorce occur if one forgets the wording of an oath of divorce not to enter chat rooms, knowing that he entered them out of curiosity to see a girl's picture?
You have wronged yourself, your wife, and the privacy of others by spying on their rooms. What is your wife's fault that you threaten her with divorce every time she goes to chat or talks to women? Your marriage should have been a repentance from this. As for the oath: If you swore by divorce to prevent yourself from chatting and did not intend to divorce your wife, then no divorce occurs, and you must offer an expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat ). However, if you intended by your oath to divorce your wife as a punishment for yourself, then one divorce (talaqa) is counted against you. Ibn Abbas, Aisha, Sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah, scholars of the Permanent Committee, and Ibn Uthaymeen are of the opinion that if swearing by divorce is intended as an oath and not to effect a divorce, then expiation for breaking an oath is required. But if divorce is intended by it, then divorce occurs.
