Does divorce occur if the wife says, "If you don't come, I won't return home," as a joke, with the husband's intention not to effect a divorce and not for her to remain in her family's home if he doesn't come?
What the wife said does not constitute a divorce, for divorce is in the hand of the husband if he pronounces it explicitly or implicitly with the intention of effecting it, or if he delegates someone else to do so.
