Is it obligatory to divorce my wife if she reconciled with my sister after I swore to her, "By the three divorces, if you do not stop talking, cease quarreling, and responding to your brother, I will cut you off and never speak to you again for life," and she did not comply?

The we adhere to is that an oath sworn by divorce results in divorce if the condition sworn upon occurs. Also, a divorce pronounced with the word "triple" counts as three divorces, and the wife becomes irrevocably divorced thereby. Swearing an oath by divorce is impermissible.
