Does an oath of divorce, made in anger not to eat at the in-laws' house due to the mother's displeasure, and subsequently broken by reconciliation and eating, take effect, especially given that the questioner had previously divorced his wife with a clear oath twice before?

Based on the swearer's intention, "I will not break my fast at home as long as my mother is angry with me," this intention forms the basis of the oath. Consequently, the person does not break their oath (حنث) and no divorce occurs if they break their fast at their father's house after the dispute with their mother has ended. One should be careful in the future about swearing by divorce. It is recommended to treat parents with kindness and dutifulness.
