I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this. It's crucial to know that under the Saudi Arabian legal system, there are provisions set in place to take care of such situations. The law I will be referring to is the "Law of Procedure before Shari'ah Courts".
One way to file for divorce is through 'Khul' or 'Khula' which is a process where a woman can seek divorce from her husband. This process is indicated in Article 154 of the Law of Procedure before Shari'ah Courts, and would normally involve a compensation from the wife to the husband, unless he waives his right to compensation.
Since you mentioned you want nothing but divorce, this could be an option, as you express that your husband can 'keep everything'. Yet, it's important to note that if you have no funds to provide the compensation, one possibility would be to relinquish your claim on the Mahr (dowry given by your husband at the time of marriage), if you were previously given one.
However, Saudi law encourages mediation before resorting to divorce. As per Article 107 of the Law of Procedure before Shari'ah Courts, if you approach the court, they will first assign a mediator to resolve your issues.
If mediation fails, as per Article 110 and 111 of the Law of Procedure before Shari'ah Courts, the judge, if satisfied, can pronounce the divorce.
Remember, if you find yourself in crisis, you can reach out to social service agencies in Saudi Arabia for help. Your well-being matters and you are not alone.
Please also note that while this advice is based on Saudi law, it's always wise to consider seeking out professional legal advice tailored to your own circumstances. You can ask to meet with a female counselor will be more understanding of your situation, this should be possible under Saudi law.
I hope this helps and I wish you strength during this difficult time.
