Does divorce take effect when its pronouncement is repeated five times unintentionally, under the wife's continuous pressure, and without the husband's intention to divorce?

Firstly: Explicit divorce takes effect merely by uttering the words, and intention is not a prerequisite, except in cases of coercion or extreme anger. A wife's insistence on divorce does not constitute coercion.
Secondly: If a man utters three or more divorce pronouncements in a single phrase, or repeats the pronouncement, a single divorce takes effect, according to the more preponderant opinion.
