Is a person's statement, "I swore by divorce that I would not do such and such," when he did not actually say that, considered the creation of an oath or a lie that carries no consequences?
If someone says to another, "I said, 'By divorce, I will not do such and such,'" when in fact he did not say that, then he does not become an oath-taker, nor does divorce occur by his doing what he claimed he swore by. However, he must repent from lying. This is because his statement to the other person, "You swore," is not an oath itself, but rather a report about an oath. So, if he is lying in that report, he does not become an oath-taker.
