Does divorce take effect if a man tells his wife, "By divorce, they will not enter for another mouthful of food," intending her family, while he was in a state of extreme anger and does not remember his intention at the time, and wishes to retract his words?

Anger does not prevent a divorce from occurring if the angry person is aware of what he is saying. The majority of jurists hold that breaking an oath of divorce causes it to occur, regardless of whether the husband intended divorce or merely a threat, and this is the fatwa we adhere to. Accordingly, if your wife's family brought food into your house, you have broken your oath and the divorce has occurred. However, if the oath had a specific reason that has since been removed, then there is no harm in them bringing food, and no consequence will follow. Spouses should avoid problems and resolve them wisely. The husband should fear anger, as it is a gateway to evil.
