The answer

A divorce conditioned upon a stipulation does not occur unless the stipulation is met. So, if a husband conditions divorce on his wife not bringing something, and she brings it, the divorce does not occur. However, if the husband's intention or the reason for conditioning the divorce was the failure to bring it at the specified time or with the required specifications, and this is not met, then the stipulation is considered to have occurred, and the divorce takes place. For intention and reason affect an oath, both in specification and generalization.
