Does a divorce take effect if a man tells his wife, "You are divorced by three," while he is in a state of anger and nervousness, and did not intend separation?

The wife has been irrevocably divorced with a major, irreversible divorce ( Bainunah Kubra). She is thus unlawful for her husband until she marries another man out of genuine desire, who then divorces her, and she completes her ' (waiting period) from him. Anger here is not taken into consideration unless it completely removes one's sanity.
