The Husband's Breach of Promise to His Wife

Question
The husband promised that he would not hit or insult his wife, nor would he smoke or drink alcohol, and if he did, the marriage contract would automatically dissolve. Then the husband did all these things; has the divorce occurred?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If these actions are conditioned by a phrase indicating divorce, the divorce occurs upon performing them. You should consult the mufti to confirm the specifics of the matter, and God knows best.
