Issuing a divorce before getting married

Q: I wrote on mt mobile 3 time divorce and showed it to my mother and told her that if you don't get me married in 6 months to my engaged wife, I will send this message to my wife. I only wanted to scare my mother. Thereafter I deleted it. Did a divorce take place before my nikaah can even happen? 

A: If you said the engaged wife is divorced, then the divorce is not valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
