She asked her husband for a divorce because he mistreated her
Question

                My husband divorced me two days ago, after just 11 months of marriage. Our divorce is regarded as khula’, because I gave up a sum of money that my husband was looking after for me. When I noticed that what was stopping him from divorcing me was this money, not the love that there was between us, I gave it up and he divorced me quite readily. I loved him very much and I prayed to Allaah that the divorce would not be completed, and I prayed istikhaarah. I kept quiet in the court and I was looking at the judge hoping that this divorce would not be completed, but when the judge asked me, “Do you agree?” I always said yes, so as to preserve my dignity of which I have been robbed by my husband and his first wife (as I am the second wife). 

I would like to ask about the following: 

1 – What does it mean that the Throne of the Most Merciful is shaken by our divorce? 

2 –Is Allaah angry with me for asking for a divorce in order to preserve my dignity, because my husband was not just in spending and sometimes in the division of his time (between co-wives)?.
Praise be to Allah.
    Firstly: 

    We ask Allaah to help you to do all that is good, and to 
    bless you with happiness in this world and in the Hereafter, and to 
    compensate you with a righteous husband and good offspring. 

    You should note that tests and trials are part and parcel of 
    the life of this world, and that the Muslim must prepare himself to face 
    hardships and problems. One of the greatest trials that people may face is 
    the loss of a loved one or friend through death, absence or separation, but 
    Allaah, by His grace and kindness, still opens the gates of His mercy to 
    people and makes it easy for them to find loved ones and friends who will 
    help them to do good and reduce the sorrow that they feel in their hearts. 

    Do not grieve for what has happened, for whatever happens to 
    a person could not have missed him. Allaah, may He be exalted, says 
    (interpretation of the meaning): 

    “and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you 
    and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allaah knows but you do not 
    know”

    [al-Baqarah 2:216]

    Secondly: 

    It is permissible for a woman to ask her husband for a 
    divorce, if there is a reason for that to be permissible, such as if he 
    fails to give her her rights or he wrongs her or mistreats her, and does not 
    respond to advice to treat her well and be kind to her. 

    But if a woman asks for a divorce with no reason, that is 
    haraam and is a major sin. 

    The Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) 
    said: “Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce for no reason, the 
    fragrance of Paradise will be forbidden to her.”

    Narrated by Abu Dawood (2226) and al-Tirmidhi (1187); classed 
    as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 

    Al-Mubaarakfoori said: i.e., without there being strong 
    reason that compels her to seek a separation. 

    Tuhfat al-Ahqadhi, 4/410 

    Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said:  

    The reports which warn a woman against asking her husband for 
    a divorce are to be understood as referring to cases where there is no 
    reason for doing that. End quote from Fath al-Baari, 9/402 

    See also questions no. 9481, 
    12496 and 
    34579. 

    Asking for khula’ is also permissible if it is done for a 
    shar’i reason, so as to ward off wrongdoing or to protect one's rights or 
    other such reasons. This has already been explained in the answer to 
    question no. 1859. 

    What is haraam is asking for khula’ with no good reason. 

    It says in a hadeeth that the Prophet  (peace and 
    blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Women who seek khula’ are 
    hypocrites.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1186) and al-Nasaa’i (3461), both of 
    whom classed it as da’eef. Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (7/248): 
    Ahmad mentioned it and quoted it as evidence, and Ibn Hajar was of the view 
    that it is saheeh, as it says in Fath al-Baari, 9/403. It was also 
    classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 
    1186. 

    Al-Mubaarakfoori said: 
i.e., those women who 
    ask for khula’ and divorce from their husbands for no reason. End quote. 

    Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi, 4/409 

    Thirdly: 
What the husband must 
    do, if he marries more than one wife, is to adhere to the condition that 
    Allaah has stipulated for husbands, as He says (interpretation of the 
    meaning): 

    “but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly 
    (with them), then only one”

    [al-Nisa’ 4:3]

    If he knows that he will fall short in giving one of his 
    wives her rights, then it is not permissible for him to keep her suspended 
    and mistreat her, rather he must give her her rights of maintenance, staying 
    overnight with her and treating her in a kind and proper manner, and he must 
    be just and fair between her and his other wives. If he cannot do that, then 
    he should let her go with kindness, and kindness means that he should not 
    take anything of her wealth. 

    See also question no. 45600. 

    If the husband refuses to let her go with kindness and he 
    does not care about that wrong that is being done to his wife, and the wife 
    wants to expedite her separation from him, even by paying some kind of 
    compensation to the husband, then she has the right to do that, and the sin 
    is on the husband and the money that he takes is haraam wealth. 

    We have already discussed that in detail in question no. 
    42532. 

    Fourthly: 

    With regard to the question as to whether divorce shakes the 
    Throne of the Most Merciful: 

    There is no saheeh report concerning that. The hadeeth which 
    is narrated about that is fabricated and false. 

    We have explained that in the answer to question no. 
    43498  

    And Allaah knows best.
