Divorce via Email/Text Without Intention

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum,

Please help me and answer my question. If I give talaq to my wife via email or text msg without any intention, does it count as a talaq? Please kindly help me with that as soon as possible may Allah bless you.
Amen 

الجواب وبالله التوفيق      

The Divorce takes effect even without intention if one gives divorce with the words meant for Divorce.

The Divorce also takes effect through email or text.
