I told my wife, “You are divorced three times if you go to the market,” and, praise be to Allah, she has not gone to the market. Is there a solution or a way out of what I said?

Question:
He says: I told my wife, “You are divorced three times if you go to the market alone, or with your mother and sisters?” And I intended the divorce to actually take place, not just as a threat. However, praise be to Allah, she has not gone to the market to this day. Also, she was pregnant when I pronounced the divorce, and I had intimate relations with her more than once. Please inform us of the solution or the way out, and what consequences follow from this? Because, given the length of time, she may go to the market, or I may take her to the market. Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As long as she has not gone to the market, nothing has happened, and she is your wife, praise be to Allah. But if she goes to the market and defies your prohibition and your divorce of her, then at that time you should ask the scholars to guide you to what they see in this matter.
