What is the ruling on one who said to his wife, "If you leave the room's door, you are divorced," then permitted her to leave fearing the occurrence of divorce; does the divorce take place or not?

Divorce does not occur by the wife leaving the room as long as you have given her permission, because a conditional divorce does not take effect unless the condition is met. It is advisable to avoid conditioning divorce and threatening with it.
