If a husband obtains a divorce certificate or a marriage certificate without uttering the words (of divorce/marriage) or forming the intention, then the divorce is not effective and the marriage is not عقد (contracted). His action is objectionable and a forbidden stratagem. The husband is advised to present his case to the court or to the scholars at the Islamic center, so they may guide him to the correct course of action.
