Is the husband's saying to himself, "You ask the scholars until they permit the dead meat for you," considered a divorce, by analogy with the saying of some Maliki jurists that whoever says to his wife, "You are to me like dead meat," divorce occurs?

If a man talks to himself about divorce but does not utter or write it down, even if he intends to make it happen, his divorce does not take effect. The phrase "You ask scholars to make carrion lawful for you" is not a divorce. Maliki jurists consider a man's saying to his wife, "You are to me like carrion," as one of the subtle allusions to divorce, necessitating three divorces for a wife with whom cohabitation has occurred, and whatever he intended for others. If there was no intention, one divorce is binding.
