The Ruling on Threatening Divorce

Question
She says: I was in a discussion with my husband, and the discussion became heated, and he said to me: 'Be quiet so we don't divorce over this issue.' Does his statement count as divorce?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Such a thing is not considered a divorce, and it is better to avoid uttering the word of divorce in married life; so that the tongue does not get accustomed to it, leading to its occurrence. And God knows best.
