Does divorce occur if the wife does not apologize to the husband's mother, given that the conditioning of divorce on this stipulation was a mere thought and not uttered by the husband, and then the husband asked his wife to apologize by saying: "Apologize to my mother, and tell her: 'You have a right over me'"?

Divorce does not occur because the wife did not apologize to the husband's mother, as divorce does not occur through self-talk or mere intention. If a person suffering from obsessive thoughts utters a divorce without his own volition, his divorce is not effective. It is advised to disregard obsessive thoughts and not dwell on them.
