The question

Does divorce occur through self-talk, or by moving the tongue without sound or intention, or by imagining a quarrel and uttering the word of divorce, or by the words of divorce passing over the tongue without anger or reason, especially in a state of obsessive-compulsive disorder?

The answer

We advise you to visit a psychiatrist, and to turn away from obsessive thoughts and not pay attention to them, and to strive to establish a stable marital life. Furthermore, any words of divorce you utter due to obsessive thoughts do not constitute a divorce, because there is no intention, and because it may be a mere thought or a doubt about the utterance.
