It was definitely a contributing factor mainly as in 1527 Charles V (Catherine of Aragon's nephew) imprisoned the Pope and as the Pope was the only person able to grant an annulment it was prevented due to Charles V.
Because the Pope wouldn't approve of an annulment from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
Catherine of Aragon was Henry VIII's first wife. When King Henry annulled their marriage in defiance of the Catholic Church in order to wed Ann Boleyn, Catherine refused to recognize the annulment or the king's position as the head of the church.
It was a difficult situation to end is marriage to Katherine of Aragon because Henry was a practising catholic and in Catholicism you are for bidden to get divorced. For this reason Henry could not get an divorce or annulment because of religious objects meaning that whilst he was catholic a divorce or annulment could not be granted.
Henry VIII had a total of four marriages annulled. First, he annulled his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in 1533. Henry VIII then had his marriage to Anne Boleyn annulled in May of 1536. Next, he annulled his marriage to Anne of Cleves in 1540. Henry's final marriage annulment occured in 1542, dissolving his marriage to Catherine Howard.
my understanding is the married couple hasn't been consummated (had sex) the marriage there for you're not getting a divorce but an annulment.
An annulment is a declaration that a marriage never existed between a specific couple.
Consummation of marriage refers to the first time the married couple engages in sexual intercourse. A marriage is complete without this if it is otherwise legal. On the other hand, if a marriage is unconsummated that can provide grounds for divorce or a civil annulment if one of the partners is unhappy about the situation.

Example sentence - She had an appointment with an attorney to discuss the annulment of her marriage.
for being unfaitful- Incorrect. The marriage ended when Henry had the marriage declared invalid The Pope refused to have the marriage annulled. AND Catherine did not accept that her marriage was declared invalid, Because she did not recognized Henry's authority to do so.
They simple answer is 30th March 1534. The more complex answer is that between March 1534 and 1536 the marriage was held never to have taken place Henry having been unable to marry his brother's widow. However following the annulment of Henry's marriage to Anne his marriage to, the now dead, Catherine was vallidated and the widowed King married again.
Only if you have grounds for annulment (for example, the marriage was entered into under duress). Short-term marriage or 'buyer's remorse' is not grounds for annulment.
