Does divorce occur with the pronouncement "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" and "You are irrevocably divorced, irrevocably divorced, irrevocably divorced" when said in jest and in imitation of a cartoon scene, and what is the ruling on the marriage in this case?

Divorce does not take effect without the intention of establishing it, whether through an explicit statement or an implied one coupled with intention. Merely recounting a divorce without the intention of establishing it carries no consequence, because intention is one of the pillars for divorce to take effect according to jurists. Based on this, the divorce recounted in the series that was heard does not necessitate a divorce, and the wife remains under the marital bond of her husband.
