The answer

The wife's threat to throw herself from the car if her husband does not divorce her is considered legitimate duress if the husband knows of her intention to commit this act, and he is not liable for anything if he divorces her for this reason. Legitimate duress includes threatening to harm others whom the threatened person loves, such as the wife, relatives, friends, or servants, in a way that would be difficult for the coerced person to endure their harm.
