Does a husband's statement to his angry wife: "You will give me a heart attack; at least one would be rid of you" constitute a divorce byinferred meaning, even if he did not intend divorce?

The statement mentioned is not one of the ambiguous phrases of divorce, so divorce does not occur by it, especially since there was no intention of divorce with it. Divorce occurs by an explicit pronouncement or by an ambiguous phrase accompanied by intention. We advise you to avoid the causes of severe anger.
