The answer

If you intended the pronouncement of divorce, then it takes effect even if you did not intend to divorce your wife, for an explicit pronouncement does not require intention. However, if you did not intend the pronouncement, but rather it merely slipped from your tongue unintentionally, then no divorce occurs by it.
