The answer

Marital problems should be resolved with understanding and wisdom, without resorting to divorce.

1. "I don't want this life": This is an idiomatic expression for divorce. A divorce does not occur by this statement unless you intended divorce by it. If you intended to divorce her, then the divorce occurs; otherwise, nothing is upon you. 2. "No, it's over" (with the intention of divorcing in the future): No divorce results from this, as it is merely a promise of divorce. 3. "Well, why don't you stay with her?": If you intended divorce by it, then it occurs; otherwise, not. A mere feeling of disinclination is not considered an intention for divorce.

If a divorce occurred once or twice, it is permissible to reconcile with her before the end of her waiting period (). If there is doubt about the intention of divorce, then nothing is required of you. However, out of piety, it is recommended to consider the divorce as having occurred, and then reconcile with her if the pronouncements of divorce were not three.
