أنت حرام
You are forbidden to me.
The word “ḥarām” may indicate prohibition in more than one legal or ordinary sense. Hearing it does not necessarily determine that the speaker has pronounced divorce.
Within a divorce-related context, intention or a sufficiently strong circumstance may select a divorce meaning. Because the word has competing possibilities, it remains allusive rather than functioning in the same direct manner as explicit divorce wording.
