Does a husband's statement: "I said 'you are divorced' because of this and that," or "Any man who says to his wife 'you are divorced' for the most trivial reasons, she is considered divorced," count as a new divorce that completes the three divorces, taking into account his not remembering the second divorce due to anger?

The husband determines whether he was aware of what he uttered in the second divorce or not. If he does not remember whether he intended to initiate a divorce or to confirm one, then this divorce does not take effect, and the incident counts as one divorce. If a man pronounces divorce, his divorce takes effect regardless of the reason. The husband's recounting of a divorce example while speaking with you does not count as a new divorce and does not complete the three divorces.
