Question
A man had a quarrel with his wife, and his mother intervened between them, becoming upset with her son for defending his wife. He lost his composure and divorced her. Does this divorce take effect?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Divorce occurs if the husband's actions are as usual, meaning he did not insult, curse, hit, or break anything. He should refer to the mufti to verify the nature of the divorce, and God knows best.
