The Oath of Divorce Conditional on a Condition

Question
A man swore an oath of divorce to his wife in a moment of anger that she would not go to her family for six months, and her family's house is close to hers. How can the husband be released from this oath?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: An oath, if it occurs, cannot be retracted, and an oath conditioned on a condition takes effect upon the occurrence of that condition. Therefore, in order for the divorce not to take place, she should not go to her family's house during this period, and she can visit them in another place other than her family's house, or they can visit her during this period. And God knows best.
