Does divorce take effect if I swore an oath of divorce upon my wife if she left her father's house without my permission, then she left to visit the doctor without informing me, thinking that the oath does not include that?
If the wife left her father's house, interpreting that no divorce would occur by her going to the doctor, because she thought that the husband's oath pertained to her leaving for her own home, then there is a disagreement among scholars regarding whether divorce has occurred for her. The majority opinion is that it has occurred, while some scrutinizing scholars do not consider it to have occurred, arguing that, according to the stronger opinion, divorce does not occur for someone who performs the action sworn upon forgetfully or interpretively.
