It is counted as a real divorce, whether a person was kidding or not. There are 3 things where the 'joke' counts as truth, whether you mean it or not. The prophet peace be upon him said " There are three matters in which it is not permissible to joke: marriage, divorce and emancipation (of slave)." So if this has happened, then all the rulings of divorce apply.

just saying the word 'divorce' does nothing on the other hand, why would someone randomly say 'divorce' escapes me, either way, if it isn't clearly stated, then it has no affect.

What must be rememberd that marriage/divorce is no joke,, being almost divorced myself knows exactly how delicate these matters are. It does count as a divorce.

Aslam, that question wasn't really directed to you, I was trying to understand the essence of it myself, although a lot of people have told me that saying divorce as a joke counts as a real divorce. Will try and get sum evidence InshALLAH.

I had a case when we went to the doctors for my son who was ill.

there have an LCD screen there which comes up with your name and the room to go to. and her name appeared as Miss instead of Mrs.

I joked with her and said I didnt know you divorced me lol

I think in those circumstances fair enough, but never repeat it or give the impression you being serious even though you joking

Assalamou alaikoum wa rahmatou allah wabarakatou,

All i know that saying something as angry or jokes doesnt affect because is laghwo in islam

but if you say 3 times word divorce with a serious niyatte then is a serious matter i hope it helps,

Jazakoum allah khayiran
