This question is about the TV show only.
In the books, Sansa is still with Littlefinger and everything that happens between Sansa and Ramsay in the show actually takes place between Ramsay and Jeyne Poole in the books.
However I don't recall why Littlefinger sends Sansa north. Apparently, in the books, it's safer to keep her traveling. So why did he do it in the show?
Answer
While KyloRens answer is more out of universe, I'll try and give a more in universe answer.
Its hard to answer without spoilers, so be warned...
As of S6E4 it seems like Petyr planned all of this
as a valid cause to rally an army of the Vale and march against Boltons. And perhaps to occupy the North.
Here's how the story goes according to Petyr
Petyr and Sansa were traveling to Petyr's home. On their way to the Fingers they got ambushed by large force of Boltons, and Sansa was kidnapped. That's how Petyr explains the marriage of Sansa and Ramsey. After telling his story, Petyr plays Robert Arryn into forcing lord Royce to call banners and march north, for saving Sansa from Boltons.
