The question

Is it considered a divorce if a husband says to his wife, "Go with your mother," or says to her mother, "Take her," and then says to his own mother, "I no longer desire her," and is it permissible to take the wife back after these statements?

The answer

The phrase "Go to your mother" is not an explicit pronouncement of divorce. It lacks intent, and intent is not established in this scenario due to the presence of doubt. Therefore, no divorce takes place. The husband's statement, "I intended to divorce her later," does not constitute a divorce. Thus, the wife is still his wife.
