Does the husband's statement to his wife during a quarrel, "I have come to hate you as a wife," constitute a divorce?

Divorce occurs with an explicit pronouncement or an implicit one coupled with intention. What the husband uttered is not considered a divorce because it does not indicate it. It must be emphasized that love is not the sole foundation of marriage; a Muslim should not despise a Muslim woman, and if he dislikes one characteristic in her, he will be pleased with another.
