If a man swears to divorce his wife over something, and then it turns out to be otherwise, there are two views among scholars: 1. The majority believe that the divorce takes effect. 2. Some scholars hold that if he intended to threaten, the divorce does not take effect, and an expiation for breaking an oath becomes obligatory. However, if he intended divorce, then it takes effect.
It is advised to refer to the Sharia courts to rule on such matters.
