Does divorce take effect by swearing an oath of divorce if the husband only intended to threaten his wife?

This question is vague and cannot be answered without knowing the exact words and circumstances in which it was uttered. Therefore, one must refer to a Shariah judge or trustworthy scholars. It is important to note the impermissibility of swearing by other than Allah, and the dislike of oaths of divorce. Furthermore, whoever swears an oath of divorce and breaks it, his wife is divorced from him according to the majority of scholars, whether he intended divorce or not, as long as the wording is explicit.
