The answer

The legitimacy of divorce originates from the Qur’an, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. Divorce may be obligatory, recommended, permissible, or forbidden depending on the reason. As for swearing by divorce, it is a suspended condition intended for urging, preventing, affirming, or denying. It is disliked by scholars due to its potential to undermine the marriage, as most jurists hold that divorce occurs upon breaking the oath. This differs from suspending divorce on a condition not intended for urging or preventing, as that is a conditional divorce and not an oath.
