Does the divorce take effect by saying, "I divorce you" to the wife if the intention was to threaten?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
This wording is not a suspension of divorce upon leaving, but rather a threat and a warning of it. Therefore, no divorce results from the wife's departure. A woman must obey her husband in what is right, especially if he forbids her from leaving without necessity.
