What is the ruling on an agreement between spouses to separate after five days if the wife does not tidy the house and take care of the daughter, given that the husband swore to that, and what is the waiting period (iddah) if the divorce occurs?

Couples must reject and overcome conflict through dialogue and understanding, instead of resorting to divorce. If the spouses agree that "each one goes his own way" without uttering the phrase, or if it is uttered without the intention of divorce, then no divorce occurs. This is because the wording falls under the category of metonymy (kinayah), and no divorce takes place by it except with intention. Consequently, the wife remains under the husband's responsibility.
