Does the divorce of a person afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder take effect if he believes it has occurred and then it becomes clear that it has not, or if he says to his wife: "The three divorces have occurred" or "I have divorced you thrice; you must go to your family," without genuinely intending divorce?

Words of divorce and its allusions uttered due to obsessive doubts do not constitute a divorce, even if explicitly stated, as long as the person is overcome by such thoughts.

It is advised not to delve deeply into matters of divorce and to be content with what the judge has informed and what has been previously ruled, while relying on Allah and turning away from these obsessive doubts.

Among the things that help with this are seeking Allah's help and frequently making supplications.
