The answer

The divorce of one who jokes is effective by consensus, for explicit divorce does not require an intention, and it takes effect whether one intended jest or seriousness, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "There are three matters, whose seriousness is serious and whose jest is serious: marriage, divorce, and return (revocation of divorce)." The divorce of one who jokes is effective both religiously and judicially, unlike a woman who falsely claims divorce.
