Does divorce occur if one says, "Divorce upon me if I do such-and-such," when there is no intention or awareness, and is expiation only required if the sworn-upon act is carried out?

Divorce does not occur unless the husband intends to initiate it with an explicit or an allusive verbalization. If the expression came out inadvertently without intent, then no divorce occurs, and no expiation is required.
