May I possibly suggest an explanation to the apparently difficult Rashi at the top of 9B
Rashi in France during a period when civil laws were greatly influenced by the older doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.
Their belief was that marriage was sacred and could not be undone, no divorce. Therefore, when Rashi states "the laws of divorce are not relevant" this was the actual state of affairs existing there in those days.
This ban on divorce was the case in England almost four hundred years later and lead to the rift with the Roman church and the creation of the Church of England during the reign of Henry VIII
