The answer

The fundamental principle is the persistence of the marital bond. Therefore, the marriage is not dissolved except by a certainty of divorce. Doubt concerning the intention of divorce when uttering ambiguous (kinayah) divorce pronouncements does not result in its occurrence. Your wife has not been divorced and remains under your marital bond. The divorce has not occurred as long as you are doubtful about your intention when uttering the ambiguous pronouncements.
