Answer:

During those days, divorce was illegal, so they had to make sure it was absolutely necessary that they be divorced, so they needed the pope to accomplish that. Religion was a very strong part of their lives too, which is why the pope. Annulment can be had because one of the two were not able to reproduce. Of course, blaming the woman
