Do divorce by allusive phrases such as "go to your family" or "each of us goes our separate way" take effect if the husband's intention at the time is unknown to him, and he affirms that had he intended divorce, he would have explicitly said "you are divorced"?
The husband's statement is the one to be considered regarding his intention behind allusive divorce pronouncements because he best knows his own intention. If he does not know his intention with those allusive words, or doubts his intention with them, then divorce does not occur, because divorce does not occur with doubt.
