Question Summary:
I decided to divorce you if you enrol for a masters program

Question Detail:

As salamu alaikum. In the past, I was unwilling to continue my wife's education. So, I texted her "I decided to divorce you if you enroll for a Masters program". She was upset with my text but intended to enroll for the program anyway. I was shocked seeing her strong intention and so, later I changed my decison. After few years, I came to know that she already enrolled into that program before I had texted her. Anyway, I did not proceed to divorce her and have been living happily with her until now. My question: Does my aforementioned text caused the divorce at that time? If yes, do we need to renew our marriage again?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The statement in reference does not constitute a divorce.[1]

لو قال بالعربية أطلق لا يكون طلاقا إلا إذا غلب استعماله للحال فيكون طلاقا
