Telling one's wife "I will divorce you"

· 6 Muharram 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My spouse and I had a severe argument and in anger and anguish without realizing I said to her I will divorce you. When I came back to my senses I realized what mistake I made since it wasn't my intention but she abused my mother and I completely lost it.

Last year we had few fights and I had said this twice but she has always stopped me but I am not sure if divorce is done or not. If it has, is there a way out of this since I wasn't in my senses.

Answer

It has not taken place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
