Is Cursing a Woman Considered Divorce?

Question:
Now, among the questions that came in, Honorable Shaykh, Abdullah from Jazan says: Is cursing a woman considered divorce?

Answer:
It is not considered divorce, but it is considered a major sin that incurs blame, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) So when a woman cursed her camel while traveling with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he ordered that her belongings be taken and she be left behind, and he said, "A cursed camel shall not accompany us." So the curse has a serious effect, and a Muslim does not utter it except against one who deserves it. The believer is not one who curses, nor one who utters curses, nor one who is obscene, nor one who is foul-mouthed, as in the hadith. So the Muslim should guard his tongue from cursing, especially with his wife, who is his lawful spouse and the mother of his children. This is not permissible; she does not curse her husband, and he does not curse his wife. This contradicts treating one another with kindness. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said, "And live with them in kindness." Yes.
