A husband's statement to his wife, "Get out of my sight now, and tomorrow I will take you to your parents' house because you are no longer fit to be my wife," is a kinayah (ambiguous divorce utterance) through which divorce occurs with the intention [of divorce]. It counts as a single divorce, and the husband can take his wife back during her 'iddah (waiting period).
