Does divorce occur by saying "I will divorce you" with the intention of threatening, not divorcing, and is it considered a conditional divorce if she is not interrupted after this statement?

The answer

The wording mentioned is not an enactment of divorce, but rather a promise to divorce. Therefore, if the wife does what she was forbidden from doing, her divorce does not take effect, because divorce does not occur by merely promising it. Informing the wife about swearing by her divorce has no consequence, and threatening divorce during a dispute is an unsound approach. What is prescribed is the use of wisdom and legitimate means of reconciliation.
