What is the condition for a divorce pronounced by a person suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (waswas) to be valid? And must he be free from the waswas and show no acceptance, even to himself, during the waswas?

The intention of divorce by which it takes effect is that which is issued by choice, without coercion, and with peace of mind. The divorce of one afflicted by obsessive thoughts does not take effect because it is a form of coercion. Therefore, turn away from these obsessive thoughts and from thinking about them, for certainty is not removed by doubt.
