What is the ruling regarding a woman who, due to a quarrel with her husband, said to him: "I have come to hate Islam because of you, and I reject Islam, and I do not believe in the Hereafter," and then regretted it and promptly recited the Two Testimonies, bearing in mind that he has not yet consummated the marriage with her? And what is the ruling on their marriage, and is what happened considered a divorce that necessitates a new contract?
If the wife utters words of disbelief while in a state of extreme anger that deprives her of awareness, she does not apostatize by that. However, if she utters them while being aware of what she is saying, then she has apostatized, and her marriage contract is nullified. A new contract is required after her repentance. She must avoid words of disbelief and control herself.
