Does divorce occur by saying, "If my wife gives birth to a third daughter, I will divorce her," said in a moment of anger and not intended?
The statement "If my wife gives birth to a third daughter, I will divorce her" is a promise of divorce. If she is not divorced after giving birth, nothing occurs, especially if he did not intend to effect a divorce immediately or suspend it. However, if he said, "If my wife gives birth to a third daughter, she is divorced," then the divorce takes effect upon her giving birth to a third daughter. One must be careful not to use the words of divorce for purposes other than their original intent, which is to end the marital relationship.
