The question

Does divorce occur with the words "as you wish and better if you stay with them" or "I wish you would stay with them" if uttered in a state of anger and after marital tension, with no recollection of an intention to divorce at the time?

The answer

A man's statement to his wife, "As you wish," or "Do as you please," coupled with "and do good when you sit down," does not constitute divorce. This is because it does not indicate separation, neither directly nor indirectly. Its utmost implication is his dislike for his wife and his desire for her to sit away from him. A mere wish or desire for divorce is not considered a divorce.
