Does the statement "I am a foreigner" or "I got married and divorced" count as a divorce, if the power to divorce is in the woman's hands?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Delegation of divorce to the wife can be explicit or implicit. A delegated divorce does not occur unless the wife utters words that explicitly indicate divorce, such as "I divorce myself," or implicitly with intention, such as "I choose myself." The divorce does not occur with what the questioner uttered in both cases, and it is advised to disregard obsessive thoughts in these matters.
