The answer

A husband's statement to his wife, "Everything is over," is one of the ambiguous divorce pronouncements (kinayat al-talaq) that does not constitute a divorce unless the husband intends it. Divorce is in the hand of the husband. If the spouses disagree about the intention, then the husband's statement is to be accepted because he knows his own intention best.
