The answer

If the husband doubts what he swore by, then his oath is void and has no consequences. Similarly, divorce before marriage is null and void, even if it is conditional. As for his statement: "You will become like my sister," it is a form of promise, and a promise is not legally binding. Therefore, the marital bond between the spouses remains intact, and it is advised to avoid uttering words of divorce.
