The answer

The majority of scholars hold that if a man swears an oath by divorce and then breaks it, his wife is divorced, whether he intended divorce, threat, or emphasis. This is the that is acted upon. The divorce of the maternal uncle's wife has occurred due to his breaking of the oath. If he has not divorced her more than once before, he may take her back before the expiration of her waiting period (). It is obligatory to avoid swearing oaths by divorce, as it is among the oaths of the dissolute.
