Does a divorce take effect after a husband beats his wife with a stick, insults her, utters the oath of divorce, and travels abroad?
It is obligatory for the husband to treat his wife kindly. Striking one's wife is a mistreatment of their marital relationship. If a husband swears by divorce and then breaks his oath, divorce occurs according to the majority of jurists. If swearing by divorce is repeated, it has specific details. If the husband pronounces divorce with an explicit word or an allusive one accompanied by intention, divorce occurs. If this is not the third divorce, it is a revocable divorce, and the husband can take his wife back as long as she is within her waiting period ('). We advise consulting the court to consider disputed matters and to remove harm.
