I don’t have the verses memorized, but Jesus said divorce was not a sin if there is adultery or abandonment.

The Catholic Church will grant annulments because abandonment, adultery, severe abuse, extreme deception (spouse deceived other spouse into marrying under false pretenses), one spouse refusing to have any children.

After I legally divorced my first husband because of adultery, I eventually met my second husband who is Catholic. To be married in the Catholic Church I had to get my first marriage annulled. I filled out what must have been a fifteen page questionnaire and submitted it to the local diocese. Because of the high volume of annulment applications, I waited three years for a decision, finally got my annulment.

But you did the right thing.

I don’t have the verses memorized, but Jesus said divorce was not a sin if there is adultery or abandonment.

The exception to sin was for the case of πορνεία (fornication), not μοιχεία (adultery).

• When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
• And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
• And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
• Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
  
  ...
  
  
• He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
• And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Like I said why would the CC feel they have to intervene and annul a marriage?

Matt 5:31-32 clearly says adultery is legitimate reason for divorce.

But yet you waited three years for the CC to dither around?

Why did you feel you needed their approval and permission to do something that is clearly Biblical?

The Catholic Church will grant annulments because abandonment, adultery, ...

False; adultery is not grounds for an annulment.
