Did a divorce occur by saying, "If you leave the house, you will be the cause of the divorce," or "I will divorce you" – while forgetting the exact wording and lacking the intention of divorce – to a woman who wanted to leave the house and was deterred by that statement?
Your statement to your wife, "If you leave the house, you will be the cause of divorce," or "I will divorce you," is merely a promise of divorce and has no consequence; no divorce has occurred to your wife. It is advisable to avoid using divorce pronouncements as a threat and to strive against oneself to avoid the causes of intense anger.
