The Oath of Divorce Conditional on a Condition

Question
My husband swore an oath of divorce that I would not leave the house except with his permission, and at that time we were in a dispute. Now we have reconciled, and I asked him to allow me to leave the house, and he permitted me to go wherever I want. Has the oath of divorce taken effect?
Answer

I say, and with God's help: The divorce that is conditional upon a condition will occur if the condition is met. If you have left without his permission, the divorce takes place; and if you did not leave, it does not occur. After he has given you permission to leave, the divorce does not occur by your leaving. And God knows best.
