Asalamualaikum , hope you are well and may Allah reward you, there’s a few scenarios I want you to put me in peace in writing, I already went on a molvi for shariah council but I just wanted to clarify on writing so im mentioning the full story, here are a few things said:I had no intention for any I just wanted to talk to her or just wanted her to listen to me 1. I said to my wife: “Come here or you are divorced.” She came I think after a small hesitation and then walked away. I feel like she came instantly but I’m not sure. I’m worried as I never said for her to keep on walking with me once she comes next to me but I did want that but she walked away after fulfilling. Please clarify regarding the fact she didn’t keep walking ? 2. In the first situation, I am not sure if I also said “right now.” If I did say that and she came after a short hesitation, is that nothing to worry about please can you answer this hypothetically? 3. I said: “Give me your phone password or you are divorced.” She refused/ kept hesitating at first, but then gave it within 5–15 minutes. Closer to 5, i just wanted to phone passwoed in that day I think specifically thought within today I only wanted the password, not divorce. Does the fact she hesitated and refused for a while do anything? 4. I don’t actually remember this but I’m not sure but My wife says (although she’s not even fully sure) that I once said: “Come down right now or you are divorced.” She says she went on her phone first, then came down. I remember she came down when I asked within a reasonable time according to me and I didn’t worry or be scared , but I’m scared as she told me she went on her phone If I did say this, would that be a divorce? I never ever said anything or thought about her going on her phone I just wanted her to come downstairs and she came like a normal time. Please May you answer hypothetically regarding the fact she went on her phone? 5. I think I might have said: “Open the gate or you are divorced.” But I honestly don’t remember if I said this, or if she even opened the gate. Does this count as divorce? She said she opened the gate and again I don’t think she’s even sure if I said it, just please May you answer me hypothetically. 6. There was CCTV in that place on the gate, and I once tried to get the footage to check If she opened the gate, but the establishment they didn’t give it to me. The incident happened over a year ago and I tried to get the footage over a year ago and since then we have moved properties in the same town Should I try harder to get it, or should I stop worrying about it? I never wanted anything to do with leaving in any of this I just wanted to talk to her and never had any intention of divorce Please May you help me out and may Allah reward you.

Talaq hasn’t taken place in all the scenarios mentioned as they are threat and promise. Any Talaq given in these circumstances will have no affect.
