Does a divorce occur when a man says to his wife: "If I find out that you did not tell me such-and-such, then you are divorced," and then he finds that out, given that he said it in a state of extreme anger and his intention was to urge her to disclose?
According to the majority of jurists, a conditional divorce takes effect upon the fulfillment of the condition, whether the husband intended divorce or merely a threat. This is the prevailing . Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce as long as the person uttering it is aware of what he is saying, as divorce is often pronounced only in a state of anger. Some scholars have divided anger into categories, with the ruling differing based on the type of anger. It is advisable to consult a court or a scholar. It is important to note the seriousness of anger, as it is a key to evil, and the necessity of resolving marital problems with wisdom to maintain the stability of marital life.
