It is required for us , not only before performing Hajj, but always, to give back the rights of others and seek pardon from any one who was wronged by us whether intentionally or unintentionally. When we intend to travel for Hajj, we need to be sure that no liability is on us for any one.
Divorce is the most disliked allowed act in Islam, and it should not happen unless there is no way at all for the couple to continue together. Divorce should not involve any act of injustice or backbiting or insult to the other party or any of his/ her family members. If such act of injustice has taken place, we must apologize and seek pardon from the person who was wronged by us.
