The answer

A husband's statement to his wife, "You are divorced," is an explicit pronouncement of divorce, and divorce occurs with it without the need for intention. So, if the husband utters this word while conscious and not overcome by his emotions, his divorce is effective, even if he was extremely angry. Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless it reaches a level that causes loss of awareness.
