Does a husband's divorce of his wife, where he swore to divorce her if she went to her family's house or if they came to her house, take effect, knowing that he was angry, and after a few days, he informed his wife of his intention to divorce her for fear that her family would ruin their lives, and that the wife wants to continue her life with him while avoiding her family?

Divorce occurred when the wife's mother entered the house because he conditioned the divorce upon that. If the three pronouncements of divorce are not yet complete, the husband may take back his wife before her waiting period () expires. Obedience to the husband takes precedence over obedience to parents.
