What is the ruling regarding a husband saying to his wife: "If they appear and know, tell them you are divorced, meaning just as you were married and divorced two months ago and you had been taking birth control pills five months ago, so it became apparent"? And is this statement considered a divorce, knowing that he did not intend to initiate a divorce but rather they were discussing visa problems?

As long as the husband did not intend to initiate divorce by what he said, divorce does not occur with these phrases, whether they were an inquiry or a request for false information. Even if the husband falsely reported a divorce, his divorce would not be valid, according to the more preponderant opinion.
