Divorce is  pronounced using the conventional wording. In certain cases the words  you have used can also imply divorce. However, it is the textual and  contextual indicators which determine whether you intended divorce or  not. Since the context in which you used the words \u2018you are free\u2019 makes  it clear that you never intended divorce you do not need to worry about  it. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-01<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6208\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a couple of questions regarding divorce.  a) Is the use of words &#8220;I divorce you&#8221; necessary for a divorce to  occur, or any other words like &#8220;you are free&#8221; can also have the same  effect. b) I was talking to my wife on phone and to conclude the  discussion, I said &#8220;Ok so now u are free&#8221; (Ab aap aazad hain) &#8220;You can  do whatever you want to do&#8221;.
