The question

Does a divorce occur if the husband said to his wife: "If my mother left our home angry because of you, I would have divorced you," and then it became clear that the mother had indeed left and was still angry?

The answer

A husband's statement to his wife, "If my mother left our home angry because of you, I would have divorced you," does not constitute a divorce. This is because it is an expression of an intention to divorce, but not an actual divorce. This differs from his statement, "If my mother left our home angry because of you, then you are divorced," in which case a divorce would occur.
