Does divorce take place in the following situations: when extremely angry and saying, "If you talk to so-and-so again, I will divorce you"? And does it take place when the word "I divorced" is mentioned with the intention of informing about a previous threat and not initiating a divorce? And what is the ruling on saying, "If you tell a private matter again, I will divorce you" falsely without the intention of divorce? And does divorce take place when uttered while reading about its rulings, or when imagining speaking it, or when uttering it in astonishment, or when the tongue moves with it without intention, especially with obsessive-compulsive disorder? And do divorce pronouncements that come to the tongue due to obsessive-compulsive disorder or that are uttered while studying the ruling cause divorce to occur?
The divorce has not occurred to you in any of what you mentioned: whether it's a conversation with a friend, imagination, self-talk, speaking during studying, or feeling a desire to utter it. Likewise, what you said to your mother and what you heard as a sound and a movement of the tongue without letters do not constitute divorce.
Your statement to your wife, "If you speak to so-and-so, I will divorce you," is merely a promise and does not constitute divorce.
You must repent to Allah Almighty for the falsehood that occurred from you.
The remedy for your condition is to seek refuge with Allah, frequently remember Him, supplicate to Him, ignore whispers, and seek refuge with Allah from Satan.
