[15Praxanant]

I hope everyone is in the best of imaan, I have a question that has been brewing for some time. Divorce is considered as one of the most hated halal acts but many of the sahaba (Abu Bakr, Umar, others, peace be upon them all) divorced one or more times (please correct me if I am wrong). Why would the greatest generation divorce so often when it is better to stay with your wife? I understand that their society was different than ours, and many times a divorced woman could easily marry again.
