Does a divorce take effect when a husband, in a state of anger, says to his wife words like "broken," "destroyed," "chaos," or "corruption," intending to threaten and not to divorce, and then inwardly consents to the divorce while nodding his head without uttering a word?

Divorce does not occur through self-talk without uttering the words. What you uttered without the intention of divorce has no effect. Whispers (of doubt/waswas) are not to be heeded, and one must turn away from them. We advise you to avoid extreme anger, for it is the sum of all evil.
