The husband's statement, "My daughter's joy will not be complete, even if it means divorcing you," is not a conditional divorce tied to the occurrence of joy. Rather, it is a threat to initiate a divorce. If it were a conditional divorce, he would have said, "If joy occurs, then you are divorced," and this would be a conditional divorce according to some scholars.
