Does divorce occur if I say, "I have expelled my wife fifty times with the intention of divorce," within the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder and fear of the unlawful, knowing that the purpose is to seek a fatwa?
This statement is an account of something that occurred previously, and divorce does not take place by it alone. We advise you not to pay attention to the whispers of divorce and not to ask about them as long as you are afflicted with obsessive thoughts, for certainty is that the marital bond remains and does not cease with doubt, and there is no cure for obsessive thoughts except to disregard them.
