What is the ruling regarding a husband telling his wife: "You will see, if I don't make you do this, you will be divorced," and then they reconcile and he says he did not intend divorce?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The phrase "you will be divorced" (or "you are divorced") can imply a conditional statement or a promise. Fulfilling a promise of divorce is neither obligatory nor recommended. Therefore, divorce is not binding as long as there is no intention of making the divorce conditional.
