If a man says to his wife, "If you inform anyone of this news, you are divorced," and he does not know whether she informed anyone of this news or not? And this woman is afraid that her husband will divorce her at any moment, and she says, "I did not inform anyone of this news." What is the solution in this matter?

In matters of divorce, the person involved must go to the office of the mufti or to the court. He must be present either at the office of the mufti or at the court, and his case will be examined.
