The primary consideration when choosing a wife is religious commitment (deen), as stated in the Hadith: "Choose the religious woman, and you will prosper." The fact that a woman is divorced is not a defect that prevents her marriage. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, married Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, and she was a thiyb (previously married woman), and he did not marry a virgin other than Aisha. So, if the woman is righteous, there is no harm in marrying her. Do not pay attention to doubts and illusions.
