Does a divorce take place if a man says to his wife: "If you wish for us to go to court tomorrow so that I may divorce you"?

Divorce does not occur with the statement, "If you wish that we go tomorrow to the court so I can divorce you," because it is a promise of divorce and not a divorce itself. Divorce does not take place by merely a promise. It is advisable to beware of anger, as it is the key to evil.
