A husband's statement to his wife, "If you do such and such, you will be divorced," is considered a promise of divorce that does not take effect unless the husband intends for the divorce to occur immediately upon the happening of the conditioned act. To determine the husband's intention with the phrase "If you see anything of this kind," he should be consulted to ascertain whether he meant the act to occur by the wife's intention or simply upon its occurrence. The wife is advised to avoid provoking her husband's feelings.
