Does divorce occur with the statement "You are divorced," followed by "Don't make me say you are divorced" in a state of anger, and then the wife saying "And I agree" after she has been taken back?

We have previously clarified that the word "you are divorced" (أنت طالق) does not constitute a divorce if it is not uttered fully, and similarly, the statement "do not make me say that you are divorced" is a threat that has not been actualized, and therefore, nothing results from it. One should be wary of marital problems and strive for rationality and wisdom, avoiding divorce whenever possible, especially if there are children, and endeavoring to maintain family stability, understanding, and mutual respect between the spouses.
