The second situation that involved a divorce case was here, but it was not also the woman who came frequently asking for divorce:

""And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Hârithah رضي الله عنه - the

freed-slave of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) on whom Allâh has bestowed Grace

(by guiding him to Islâm) and you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم too) have done

favour (by manumitting him): "Keep your wife to yourself, and fear Allâh." But

you did hide in yourself (i.e. what Allâh has already made known to you that He

will give her to you in marriage) that which Allâh will make manifest, you did

fear the people (i.e., their saying that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم married

the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allâh had a better right

that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her

(i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that (in future) there

may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of (the marriage of) the wives

of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them (i.e. they

have divorced them). And Allâh’s Command must be fulfilled." (Quran 33:37)

Through these Ayahs Allah made adoption unlawful, when the Messenger (PAPBUH) asked his cousin Zainab Bint Jahash to marry his former slave Zaid (whom he adopted after he refused to re join his own father and leave the Messenger so he freed and adopted him). By this marriage the Messenger wanted to prove equality between Muslims. However, Zainab only accepted because the Messenger asked her.

The marriage was not working, and Zaid went to the Messenger time after time asking him to divorce them. Until the Ayahs' were revealed. It was meant this way, that the Messenger marries the divorcee of his former adopted son in a clear sign of prohibiting adoption.

The third situation involving divorce when a woman went to the Messenger asking for divorce for no obvious reason. She said that her husband is a fine man, but she just can not stand being with him. This is when the Messenger used the rule of a woman to redeem herself as mentioned in Quran.

He told her she can return whatever present she took from him and get the divorce.

So now in which case he misjudged a decision when all where by Allah's decree????
