Thank you for your Question.
Kindly refer to the following link to read entirely upon Divorce. It is based on the Fatawas by Sayyid Sistani
english tozih 2016
2507. A man who divorces his wife must be adult and sane, but if a boy of ten years of age divorces his wife, precaution must be exercised. Similarly, a man should divorce of his own free will, therefore, if someone compels him to divorce his wife, that divorce will be void.
