Is a divorce effected by the phrase, "From today onwards, nothing shall unite us except brotherhood in faith," or by the phrase, "Were it not for your parents and your good family, I would be on the verge of going to the two arbitrators to request a divorce"?

First: Your statement to your wife, "If you want us to crush this pomegranate, then let's do it, do you hear?" does not constitute a divorce, because it is a question about the desire for divorce, not an act of divorce itself.

Second: Your statement, "From today onwards, nothing will unite you and me except brotherhood in faith," is considered a divorce by innuendo. One divorce takes place if you intended divorce, and it is a minor irrevocability (baynunah sughra) because it was before consummation. You can remarry her.

Third: It is not appropriate for a husband to consummate the marriage with his wife before the announced consummation, to avoid corruptions.

Fourth: Your statement, "Were it not for your parents and your good family, I would have been 'two bow-lengths or nearer' to going to the two just witnesses (the judges) to request a divorce," does not constitute a divorce. It is advisable to avoid divorce-related expressions.
