Does divorce occur if the husband swore by divorce that his wife should not open his Facebook page, and then she opened it, forgetting that he had logged in from her phone, or because she logged in from his phone and he had forgotten to log out, and he was angry when he swore?

Summary: Divorce occurs if the wife accesses her husband's Facebook page, even if the husband was angry, unless he had lost his awareness. However, if she came across the page but did not access it, no divorce occurs. If a divorce occurs and it is not a third divorce (completing the three), the husband has the right to reconcile with his wife before the ' (waiting period) expires. Some scholars are of the opinion that no divorce occurs, and the husband is required to pay an expiation for breaking an oath.
