The thought of talaq did not cross his mind or a far as he can recall!Will his words be be taken as a divorce ? if so what is the procedure going forward ? 

Jazak Allah

Answer:

In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The husbands statement, “its over”, subsequent to the daughter saying “its over” meaning the argument is over, was to confirm the daughters statement that the argument is over.

The husbands statement has nothing to do with divorce. The husband should not entertain baseless thoughts and Waswasa.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
