if a man jokingly says to his wife things like: I am going to send you back, will this constitute divorce? The man never mentions the word divorce nor has the intention of divorcing his wife.
Answer:
The statement, ‘I am going to send you back’, does not constitute divorce.
However, the man should avoid joking in such a way.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
