The answer

The divorce does not occur with the words you mentioned, due to not attributing them to the wife and not intending divorce. The divorce of a person suffering from obsessive doubts does not occur, even if he utters the words, unless he genuinely intends it in a state of tranquility and stability, because he is overwhelmed by his condition. The best cure for these obsessive whispers is to disregard them.
