The question

Do the two divorces that occurred on the same day—the husband's statement: "Do not return home; consider yourself divorced," and his other statement: "If a certain matter does not happen, I will consider myself divorced"—count as one divorce or two? And what is the ruling on that?

The answer

The husband's statements: "Do not return to the house" and "Consider yourself divorced" are two phrases that effect divorce by intention. If the husband intended divorce with both, two divorces are incumbent upon him. If he intended divorce with only one phrase or made the second an affirmation of the first, then one divorce is incumbent upon him. As for divorce contingent on a condition, it takes effect if the husband intended it. Therefore, the occurrence and number of divorces depend on the husband's intention.
