He said to his wife: “You are free of me when you get your visa”

 

I just want to ask if a man says to his wife that you free from myside on various occasions when you get your visa,does this this considered her as divoced?.

Praise be to Allaah.

If a man says to his wife, “You are free” or “You are free of
me if you do such and such”, this is a metaphor for divorce. The words of
divorce are two types: explicit and implicit. 

Explicit forms of divorce are words like “You are divorced (taaliq
or mutallaqah).” In this case it counts as a divorce even if the husband did
not intend that. 

Implicit forms of divorce are words like “You are free” or
“You are free of me” or “Go to your family” and so on. In this case it does
not count as a divorce unless the husband intended divorce. 

Based on that, if the husband intended divorce by saying
these words, then his wife became divorced when she got her visa. If he did
not intend divorce, then nothing has happened. 

And Allah knows best.
