Do the phrases you uttered to your family—such as "It's not up to her if she likes it; otherwise, she can go to her mother, and may God make it easy for her"—constitute a divorce for your wife, even though you did not intend a conditional divorce, but rather meant that you would give her a choice or divorce her in the future if she did not agree?
Divorce does not occur with these phrases, because divorce does not take effect by promising it, even if expressed explicitly, regardless of whether the wife performs the act it is conditioned upon or not. Threatening a wife with divorce is an unsound approach, and a wife must obey her husband in what is good.
