What is the ruling concerning a wife whose husband is worried about her infidelity, given that he suspended her divorce with the intention of threatening her, and told her: "If you look at anyone other than me, you are unlawful to me," with the intention of divorce, and this is after he had explicitly divorced her twice?

Jealousy is commendable if it stems from suspicion, but blameworthy if it is without suspicion, for it opens the doors to doubts and delusions.

If a husband conditions his wife's divorce on a specific matter, then the intent of divorce has occurred; otherwise, it does not occur according to some jurists.

Divorce should not be a means to solve marital problems; rather, one should resort to it only when its benefit outweighs its harm.
