A husband's statement to his wife, "If I don't find the necklace, I will divorce you," is a promise of divorce that does not entail anything. As for his statement, "You are considered divorced," this is a kinayah (allusive expression), and it does not obligate him to anything if he did not intend divorce by it, but merely a threat.
