The answer

Divorce does not occur by mere intention; rather, it requires an explicit verbal utterance or an implicit statement accompanied by the intention. If a husband divorces his wife with a single pronouncement, he has the right to take her back as long as her waiting period ('iddah) has not ended. Otherwise, he may marry her again with a new marriage contract if she consents. The husband's statement to her parents that the divorce will be by three pronouncements has no effect, because it is a threat of divorce and not an actual divorce.
