Divorce does not occur by mere intention or self-talk without uttering it. If you did not utter the divorce in a voice you could hear, then it is not valid. This applies to those who are not afflicted by obsessive doubts. As for those who are afflicted by obsessive doubts, their divorce does not occur unless they utter it with a real intention, and it is necessary to turn away from obsessive doubts and their dire consequences.
