Wife issuing a divorce

Q: My cousin swear to husband that if you do not follow my 2 instructions, I will be your sister. So now the issue is resolved and the instructions were not followed. Is it ok to live with the husband?

A: The wife does not have the right to issue a divorce. Hence, no divorce has taken place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
