The prohibition of marriage is a debated issue, and the preponderant opinion is that its ruling depends on the husband's intention. If he intended ẓihār, then it is ẓihār. If he intended divorce, then it is divorce. If he intended an oath, then it is an oath. And if he did not intend anything, then it is also an oath.
