Ruling on a woman requesting divorce without a valid legal reason

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is there any legal evidence containing a curse for a wife who requests divorce from her husband without a valid legal reason?

I do not recall a hadith regarding a curse, but there is a severe warning, which is His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): (Any woman who asks her husband for divorce without a valid reason is forbidden the scent of Paradise) This is a severe warning; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stated that the scent of Paradise is forbidden to her, so this is a severe warning. Therefore, it is obligatory for the woman to fear Allah regarding herself and her husband, and not to ask him for divorce except for a valid legal reason. However, sometimes a woman cannot bear to be patient with her husband due to her dislike of him, as in the case of the wife of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammās, when she came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: (O Messenger of Allah! I find no fault with Thabit ibn Qays in his character or his religion, but I dislike disbelief in Islam,So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Will you return his garden to him?She said: Yes.
So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her husband: Take the garden and divorce her with one divorce).
