Does a divorce take place in the following cases? 1. The husband threatens his wife with divorce with the intention of motivating her, knowing that he said to her: "If you don't tell me tomorrow, I will do as so-and-so did and marry a female student of knowledge; no, rather, I will divorce you (or "nṭalliqik" in my colloquial dialect) and then marry a female student of knowledge"? 2. The husband's obsessive thoughts that he has divorced his wife merely by typing the word "divorce" (الطلاق) or the phrase "nṭalliqik" while searching on the internet? Knowing that he suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder concerning acts of worship, apostasy, and divorce.
