Question:
Assalamualaikum,
If a man says to his wife:
“I don’t want to be with you anymore.”
Does a divorce take place? The man mentions that he never made an intention of divorce but instead he meant he didn’t want to be with her at that time.
Wassalaam.
Answer:
If the husband did not intend a divorce by saying the word” I don’t want you anymore” then the divorce did not take place.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
