Does the oath apply to the wife who traveled to her family without her husband's knowledge, given the doubt about the wording of the oath: "If you leave, you are divorced" or "If you leave, do not return home again"?

The questioner's situation is one of two: The first is that he intended divorce, in which case the divorce occurs if the condition upon which it was suspended is met. The second is that he had no intention, or he does not recall what he intended; in this case, no divorce occurs, because marriage is established with certainty and is not removed by doubt. It is better for the questioner to consider this a divorce as a precaution, and to take his wife back into his care, as long as she is within her waiting period, without a contract or witnesses, if this was the first or second divorce.
