This is one of the sisters, Umm Ibrahim, who says: What is the ruling on a woman who requests divorce from her husband because he married another woman?
Answer:
She is sinful and disobedient, so it is not permissible for her to request divorce from him merely because he married another woman. This is something Allah has made permissible for him.

As for requesting divorce so that her husband will divorce her out of distress that he married another woman, this is not permissible for her, i.e.,Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8:1348. Yes.
