Some sentences written with a comma and indefinite articles.

Rio is a Brazilian city which (that) has a lot of attractions

Mustn't there be a comma in front of noun phrases with indefinite articles all the time?

I have some sentences written with a comma and indefinite articles. Are they grammatically wrong

or is there some difference among them?

We saw a marmoset, which is a type of monkey.

I mentioned the idea to a work colleague, who agreed with it.


What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
