Does a divorce occur by the husband's saying to his wife's aunt, "Tell her mother that your daughter is divorced," if he was angry and intended to threaten, not to divorce?

If the husband utters the words "Your daughter is divorced" while intending his wife, then she is divorced, because these words are explicit and do not require intention. The husband's claim that he intended to threaten is not considered. One must beware of anger, and the wife should avoid anything that angers her husband. Both spouses should be cautious of problems and not make divorce a means to solve them.
