Is the wife considered to be metaphorically divorced by her husband's saying, "I don't want her" and "She is not suitable for me," in the event that consummation and seclusion have not occurred, and he has left her for months without divorcing her, knowing that he wants the dowry?

Allusive divorces (kinayat al-talaq) are phrases that could signify divorce or something else, such as "You are free." Divorce occurs with such phrases if there is an intention to divorce. A man's statement to his wife, "I don't want you," is an allusion. If he intended divorce by it, then, according to some scholars, divorce occurs. However, according to other scholars, it does not occur because they do not consider the phrase to be an allusion in the first place.
