What is the ruling concerning the divorce of a virgin wife if her husband said to her: "If you send a complaint to my father, then you are divorced," and then he asked her four times if she had sent a complaint, and she replied yes, and he followed it by saying: "If you send, you are divorced"? And is another marriage contract required when the divorce takes place?

In summary, for the majority of jurists, a man's pronouncement of divorce for his unconsummated wife, contingent upon her complaining about him to his father, constitutes an irrevocable divorce, necessitating a new marriage contract for her return. However, according to Sheikh Al-Islam and those who concur with him, the divorce does not take place if the intention was to threaten or intimidate, and an expiation for a broken oath (kaffarat yamin) becomes obligatory.
