Would the daughter be considered divorced if the husband said to her father: "Your daughter is divorced, go"?

If the husband says "divorced" (taliq) to his wife's father or to anyone else, the divorce has occurred, because this is an explicit pronouncement that does not require intention. It is not a condition for the divorce to occur that the wife be present or aware of it.
