The answer

A husband's anger does not prevent the divorce from taking effect, as long as he remains in his senses and understands what he is saying. If he divorced you while he was conscious and aware of what he was saying, then the divorce has taken place. However, if he divorced you in a state of extreme anger where he was overcome and did not know what he was saying, then his divorce does not take effect at that time. Your affliction with symptoms of magic (sihr) or jinn possession (mass) has no bearing on the occurrence of the divorce. If the divorce was via chat through writing, it takes effect based on the husband's intention to initiate divorce through it.
