Does a divorce occur if a husband swears an oath of divorce upon his wife, in a moment of anger, that she not go to her country for childbirth, but then it becomes apparent that she needs her family's care? Is it permissible for him to retract his oath and travel with her?

An oath of divorce cannot be revoked. If the one who swore the oath breaks it, a divorce occurs, even if their intention was to prevent something, not to cause a divorce. This is the view of the majority of scholars. Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it deprives the person of their awareness. One should be cautious about swearing by divorce and be keen on dialogue and understanding in marital life.
