A muslim woman divorcing an abusive husband will often be shunned by the family, simply for divorcing her husband. If it's possible to have a sharia court decide on further proceedings, choosing not to use that court might cause even more shunning, or even threats and violence. After all, apparently she's not just divorcing her husband, but also actively rejecting Islam!
Make it possible for people to consent to give up their legal rights, and you make it possible for others to pressure them into consenting.

There is so much wrong with what you said. I don't know why you think a woman would be shunned by her family for divorcing her husband anymore in one place in the world than another. It's always a rough experience, and it changes the way people look at you anywhere you go.
A muslim woman divorcing an abusive husband doesn't get shunned by her family, that's made up. It's the same as a woman getting abused anywhere and the divorce happens with people helping her out the same as they would anywhere. The actual divorce is done according to their laws and so the woman doesnt reject islam, I'm not sure where you got that from.
People consent to give up legal rights all the time, police men do it, celebrities do it, so I'm not sure what you mean by that either.
Really the ignorance of some people is astounding. They don't take a second to look things up even though they are sitting in front of a machine that can tell them anything they need to know in literally 2 minutes. But still, they make shit up, and go on about shit they have no idea about.
