Does the divorce issued in the form of "Divorce me if you go to your aunt's house without me being there" due to jealousy take effect, given that the husband resides in another country and does not wish his wife to visit any relatives if young men are present while he is away?

If the anger was severe at the time of uttering the conditional divorce, to the extent that awareness was lost, then the divorce does not take effect. However, if he was aware of what he was saying, then the divorce takes effect according to the majority of scholars if the wife goes to her aunt's house in the husband's absence. If the reason for the oath was jealousy of her cousin (her aunt's son), then the divorce does not take effect if the wife visits her aunt's house in the absence of her cousin. However, if the visit takes place in his presence, or in the presence of similar young men about whom jealousy is felt, then the divorce is effective according to the majority of scholars.
