Does divorce occur by saying "go to your father's house" with a non-immediate intention of divorce, and are such allusions counted as a divorce if the speaker suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Divorce by innuendo is any expression that indicates separation but is not explicit in doing so. Divorce does not occur with it unless there is a firm intention, free from hesitation, and concurrent with the utterance. The phrase "Go to your father's house" is an innuendo of divorce. So, if you did not firmly intend divorce when you said it, but rather you were hesitant, or you intended divorce in the future, or your utterance was due to obsessive thoughts, then no divorce occurs, and your wife remains under your marital bond. The divorce of one afflicted by obsessive thoughts does not occur unless he genuinely intended it in a state of tranquility and mental stability.
