Islam aims for the stability and continuation of married life. The marriage contract is meant to be permanent and everlasting, and Allah Almighty described it as a "solemn covenant": "And they have taken from you a solemn covenant." Therefore, this relationship should not be exposed to anything that weakens it, and the reasons mentioned in the question do not necessitate divorce; rather, they require honesty and sincerity.
