Does the divorce that I uttered to my wife in her absence take effect, and what is the ruling on my conjugal relations with her after I became aware that the divorce had taken effect?

For divorce or revocation to occur, the wife's presence or knowledge is not a prerequisite. Revocation is effected by intercourse, even if the wife is unaware of the divorce.
