The answer

The uttered word does not constitute divorce, because one of the most important pillars of divorce is the صيغة ( صيغة refers to the pronouncement or wording), and its صيغة is either an explicit utterance by which divorce occurs without intention, or an implicit utterance by which divorce occurs if the husband intends it. It is advised not to rush into divorcing a religious wife due to a problem with her family. Instead, efforts should be made to resolve the issue and involve people of goodwill as mediators.
