Pronouncing Divorce Without Intent

Question
A husband divorced his wife three times, and his intention was not to divorce. The reason for his pronouncement of divorce was to please the second wife. Does his divorce take effect?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: divorce occurs without intention, but one should consult the mufti to confirm the situation, and God knows best.
