Question:
A questioner says: If a man says to his wife, “You are divorced,” but he did not intend to divorce her, is she divorced?
Answer:
My brother, when one pronounces the divorce, we do not look at the intention, whether he intended it or not. If he pronounces it while sane and of his own free will, she is divorced, even if he says he did not intend it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
