Does a divorce pronounced by the husband with the words "you are divorced" via a text message take effect, after a series of marital problems and both being affected by what appears to be magic of separation and envy, and is it permissible for the wife to return to her husband and ask God for healing for them both?

The occurrence of the first and second divorces is valid if the husband is aware of what he is saying. However, if he is unconscious or enchanted to the extent that he cannot control his words, the divorce does not occur, based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens, from the child until he reaches puberty, and from the insane until he regains his sanity." As for the third divorce by writing, it occurs if the husband intended divorce and was aware, otherwise it does not. Writing with the intention of divorce brings about the divorce immediately upon completion of the writing.
