Does divorce take place if the one who pronounces it is not in a state of awareness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu Muhammad from Jubail, yes. Peace be upon you. Peace and the mercy of Allah. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah welcome you. Shaykh, I have a question. I got married about a month ago, and on the day I entered, I was driving the car and I fell into a state of fantasies and whispers, as if I were at my wife’s house visiting them, and as if she had spoken ill of my family, and as if problems and shouting broke out, and I hit her and her father, and I went to the court. All of this was fantasies. And as if I came to the Shaykh at the court, on the basis that my father would divorce her, and he said to me, “No. Go back and review yourself and come back to us.” Then I stood up and said, “No, so-and-so, my wife is divorced, divorced, divorced.” All of this was fantasies. When I finished that word, it was as if I came to my senses. And it was as if I realized that I had mentioned the name, and mentioned my wife, and so on. So it was as if I realized that this speech is serious. So I do not know, Shaykh, does it take place or does it not take place? Very well, very well, thank you, Abu Muhammad.

Answer:
My brother, you say that you pronounced the divorce, but you say that it was fantasies, and I do not know how it was. So you went back to the judge in your court, the judge at the court, and you put this question to him about the divorce that happened to you. Yes.
