Yes. There is absolutely no restriction on marriage for both female or male priests in the Anglican Church. My wife has been an Anglican priest since 2001 and I am due to be ordained a priest in 2012.

Within the Anglican Church even homosexual priests (both male and female) are allowed to be in a civil partnership. However, the diocesan bishop sponsoring them for ordination must be satisfied that the partnership is for non-sexual reasons (eg so that a surviving partner inherits as next of kin on the death of the other partner) and that the relationship between them, though loving, is non-sexual.
