Does divorce take effect when its explicit words, such as "you are divorced," are experimented with for the purpose of understanding them, avoiding them, and learning how it occurs, by applying examples to oneself for the purpose of learning?

Whoever utters the divorce pronouncement as an experiment, to practice speaking the words of divorce, their divorce does not take effect, because they did not intend the utterance and its meaning. This behavior indicates a whisper (waswasah), and its cure is to ignore it.
