Lilmod, if the three dayanim who formally tried the case tell him he’s obligated to, then that’s correct. But not stam any rabbonim who didn’t try the case saying so, makes it obligatory. Until the case is formally ruled upon by beis din there’s no such obligation. Once the beis din rules on a spouse’s petition for a divorce, they might issue a verdict stating any number of possibilities, (examples) such as a) no obligation to divorce, go back to living together, b) divorce recommended even though not mandated, c) divorce halachicly mandated.
