The question

Does a divorce occur with the wife's statement: "I am not adapting" or "I do not want to adapt," in response to the husband's statement: "This is my system for whoever wants to adapt with me," and is this considered giving her a choice and her choosing divorce, knowing that the husband does not intend divorce with his statement?

The answer

The divorce does not take effect with the aforementioned wording, as it is neither explicit nor an implicit statement with intention. It is also not considered an option given to the wife because it does not indicate that, neither linguistically nor customarily. Granting an option requires phrases such as: "Choose yourself" or "Choose me." And what the wife replied is not a choice for divorce. It is advised to stay away from the whispers of divorce by not paying attention to them.
