Has the divorce taken place due to the husband's utterance of allusive phrases before consummation, with doubt regarding his intention at the time, and then the husband remembered that his intention was under the influence of obsessive thoughts? What is the ruling concerning renewing the marriage contract now or waiting for a pregnancy?
The fundamental principle is the persistence of the marital bond. Therefore, the marriage is not dissolved except by a certainty of divorce. Doubt concerning the intention of divorce when uttering ambiguous (kinayah) divorce pronouncements does not result in its occurrence. Your wife has not been divorced and remains under your marital bond. The divorce has not occurred as long as you are doubtful about your intention when uttering the ambiguous pronouncements.
