Does divorce occur upon saying "as you wish" to the wife who requested divorce, even though the intention was not present, and this would be the third divorce?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A man's statement to his wife, "As you wish," is a veiled reference to divorce, by which divorce does not occur except with intention. If he did not intend it, then it is not a divorce. And if he intended it as a promise of divorce, then it is not a divorce by scholarly consensus. But if he intended it as an offer to her to choose, and she immediately chose divorce, then she is divorced; otherwise, nothing occurs by it.
