What will happen to her first husband? Will he go to hell because she divorced him?

No. But at the "resurrection" that the Mormons are counting on, her ex-husband, whom she was "sealed to" for all time and eternity in the temple ceremony...well....he was given her "secret name" that he is supposed to use to get her out of the grave at the last day. Now he might just conveniently "forget" - and poor Marie is doomed to en eternity on not being an eternally pregnant "goddess" with her ex-husband "god" to rule over their own planet.
It's gotta be a bummer being a Mormon woman.

No. Divorce isn't looked down upon. We can get divorced if we want, but we usually will try to work it out with counseling or something before it gets that far. There are real reasons for divorce. I don't think anyone should be in trouble with their church just because they got divorced. Sometimes it doesn't work out, and just because it doesn't work out between two people doesn't mean the person is a sinner, or a bad person.

No Mormon's don't believe that being divorced will bring you to hell, maybe other reasons that relate to divorce, like cheating on your spouse. But no, as a former Mormon I can say taht isn't what they believe.

It is not up to you, anyone else or any religion to decide who is going to hell. That is surely a matter for your god to decide. So many people love to threaten others with hell when they are in no position to do so.

I doubt it. A bunch of people in that church have gotten divorces, and they don't think they're going to hell. If she goes to hell, it will be for other reasons.

No she will spend eternity with her first husband regardless of how many husbands she has that is unless she gets herself sealed to any of her other husbands then I suppose she'll be with her first husband and the one that she was sealed to also, how awkward.
