Is jesting about divorce considered Khul' or Talaq, if there was no intention of divorce?

What transpires between spouses by way of jest does not bring about a divorce (talaq) or a khul‘. For khul‘ does not occur from one who is jesting, unless it is uttered with the word of divorce or the intention thereof. One should be cautious about being lenient with such words, even in jest.
