Back then there was no social welfare, no enforced child support, no means for a woman to take care of children of a marriage if it didn't work out and a father left. Forming a relationship with another woman was probably a huge threat. It had to be socially frowned upon in order to keep everything running ok. Considering they had no contraception back then I wonder if prostitutes got pregnant alot and how all that worked.

Mary Magdalene, apostle of the apostles, Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her'. In this way she becomes, as is already known, an evangelist, or rather a messenger who announces the good news of the resurrection of the Lord; or, as Rabano Mauro and St. Thomas Aquinas said, 'apostolorum apostola', as she announces to the apostles what they in turn will announce to all the world ...It is right that the liturgical celebration of this woman should have the same level of festivity given to the apostles in the General Roman Calendar,
Why can only men be ordained as priests? Pope John Paul II in his apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatemstated, “In calling only men as his apostles, Christ acted in a completely free and sovereign manner. ...”
