Mary and Joseph were pious Jews, but that isn't the primary reason they
were chosen to be Jesus' parents.
Jesus was on track to take David's throne (Luke 1:32-33). Men who take
that position from God have to satisfy two mandatory requirements: they
have to be biologically related to David, and legally related to David's son
Solomon. (2Sam 7:8-17, 1Kings 1:13, 1Chron 22:9-10, and Ps 89:3-4)
In a nutshell: Mary provided Jesus' biological relationship with David, while
Joseph provided his legal relationship with Solomon.
Joseph was a very key element in Jesus' status because David's throne
doesn't pass down to his royal heirs thru women.

By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying
I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and
thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
And
in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
Genesis 22:15-18
And David
“Now therefore so shalt thou
say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
Moreover
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies.
Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
And thine house and
thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.”

He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.”
