Does a divorce take effect with the statement, "If you leave, I will go to court and file for separation," after the wife has left, and is it considered one pronouncement of divorce, knowing that the couple lives abroad and has two children?

A husband's statement to his wife, "I will go to court and file for divorce," does not constitute a divorce. The wife must obey her husband in what is right, and she is not permitted to disobey him. She is not allowed to seek divorce without a valid reason. The husband is advised to reach an understanding with his wife and to help her improve. They (women) should not be prevented from associating with righteous women, as this is one of the most beneficial means for a woman's rectification.
