The Pronouncement of Divorce Intention
A man told his mother that he intends to divorce his wife. Does the divorce take effect merely by his statement of this intention, or must he explicitly pronounce and confirm it for the divorce to occur?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Divorce does not occur except by verbal declaration; it does not happen by intention or notification, and God knows best.
