The answer

A husband's statement to his wife, "Consider yourself divorced," is an implicit declaration [kinayah] by which divorce does not occur unless intended. If he did not intend to condition the divorce on her speaking to women, then it does not occur. If he did intend that, then the purpose is to prevent her from speaking to women with suspicion or temptation, not to prevent her from speaking to them absolutely. Speaking with non- women is permissible when there is a need, and disliked when there is no need or when there is suspicion. Blameworthy jealousy is an transgression that leads to corruption and hardship.
