Does a divorce occur by the husband's saying: "Get out, and you are divorced," if he intended it as an oath and to prevent his wife from leaving?

If the husband says to his wife, "Do such-and-such, and you are divorced," and he intends to make the divorce contingent on the action, then she is not divorced unless she performs that action. Therefore, if your husband said to you, "Go out, and you are divorced," and he meant that you are divorced if you go out, and then you did not go out, your divorce has not taken place.
