Is what happened – thinking of the divorce phrase "علي الطلاق أنه لا يعرف عمله" (I swear by divorce that he does not know his job) – considered an obsessive-compulsive disorder that warrants the ruling for someone afflicted by وسواس (religious scrupulosity/obsessive thoughts), or does it fall outside of that, and what are the implications for the wife?
