The answer

A husband's statement to his wife, "I divorce you," is not an explicit declaration of divorce, and thus, divorce does not occur without intention. However, if common practice dictates its immediate use, or if the husband intended it as such, then it becomes an explicit declaration of divorce, and it occurs without the need for intention. If the husband intended by repetition merely an emphasis and did not intend to initiate more than one divorce, then only one divorce occurs.
