What is the authenticity of the narration that the Throne of the Most Merciful trembles when a dispute leads to divorce, and does Allah get angry with a woman who seeks divorce to preserve her dignity?
Firstly: Tribulation is a law of this worldly life, and a Muslim must bear calamities.
Secondly: It is permissible for a woman to seek divorce for a legitimate reason, such as the husband's negligence or oppression. However, if she seeks it without cause, it is forbidden.
Thirdly: The husband must be just among his wives. If he falls short in fulfilling the rights of one of them and is unable to do so, he must release her with kindness without taking her wealth. If the husband refuses this and the wife seeks separation in exchange for compensation, it is permissible for her, and the sin is upon the husband.
Fourthly: Nothing authentic has been reported about the Throne of the Most Merciful shaking due to divorce. The hadith narrated with this meaning is fabricated.
