The ruling on one who divorces his wife with the intention of only threatening her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man divorces his wife three times or more, and he intends to threaten her because of a misunderstanding between them, and he does not intend the divorce, does his divorce take effect?

Answer:
A divorce without an excuse, whether serious or joking, is valid. If he utters the divorce while he is sane and of sound mind, his divorce takes effect, whether he is serious, joking, or threatening.
