Divorce via Social Media

Question
A discussion occurred between my friend and her husband over the phone through messages, and during a heated argument, he said: You are divorced, divorced, divorced. Is she considered divorced in this case?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Divorce through messages via various means is valid, but she and her husband should refer to a scholar for a fatwa to ensure its validity, and God knows best.
