The answer

If your tongue slipped and you uttered a divorce without intention, then nothing is binding upon you, and your wife remains under your marital bond. However, if you intentionally uttered the divorce without intending its meaning, then it is effective; because an explicit divorce does not require an intention. It is obligatory to avoid watching television series that contain forbidden scenes.
