Wikipedia

  1. Clerical marriage

    Clerical marriage is the practice of allowing clergy (those who have already been ordained) to marry. It is a practice distinct from allowing married persons to become clergy. Clerical marriage is admitted in Protestantism, Anglicanism, Lutheranism, some Independent Catholic churches (not in communion with Rome), Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and the Japanese sects of Buddhism. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic Churches, while allowing married men to be ordained, do not allow clerical marriage after ordination. Their parish priests are most often married, but must marry before becoming ordained as priests—although they can get married while still attending the seminary. However, married priests in these Churches cannot be further ordained as bishops.
