Does divorce occur with the statements "I'm going to divorce your daughter" and "I have divorced my wife" at a moment of intense anger?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Anger is from Satan, and among the most beloved things to him is to separate between spouses. Your statement to your wife's mother, "I will divorce your daughter," is a promise of divorce by which divorce does not occur. As for your statement to your mother, "I have divorced my wife," if it was a pronouncement of divorce, then divorce has occurred. But if it was an informative statement, then it is a lie and divorce does not occur by it.
