Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: If a person says, “I swear by divorce,” or says, “I swear by prohibition,” does he owe an expiation? And is his wife forbidden to him?
Answer:
The ruling differs. If he says, “I swear by divorce,” his wife is divorced. As for if he says, “I swear by prohibition,” his intention is considered: is he intending divorce, or is he intending to harm her? Both are types of the two.
