Divorce is the dissolution of the marriage contract by the will of the husband through the word indicating it. There are two types of this word:
1. Explicitly, which is the word of divorce or a derivative thereof.
2. Metaphorically, which is a word that may mean divorce or something else if the husband intends to divorce by it.
