Does a divorce take place if the husband makes it conditional on his wife leaving the house without his permission, then tells her, "You have absolute permission" or "You have general permission," and she then leaves without seeking subsequent permission?

The answer

If the husband permits his wife to go out whenever she wishes, then his oath is dissolved, and no divorce occurs if she goes out thereafter without seeking permission. It is understood from the statements of the scholars that if a husband tells his wife, "I have permitted you to go out whenever you wish," then his oath is dissolved at all times.
