Yes they can - and I know this from experience as I am married to a vicar! In the Anglican Church both men and women can become vicars, and can get married. My wife has been a vicar in two parishes. Our latest parish also has a Methodist minister, who is female and married. In our first parish there was a Baptist minister - and he was married too. Most, if not all, Protestant churches allow their clergy to marry. The two main denominations that do not allow their clergy to marry are some parts of the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. However, in the RC church there are some campaigns to allow clergy to marry. In England this had a lot of publicity after the Church of England agreed to allow women to become priests (and hence vicars) with the first ordained in the 1990s. A small number of Church of England clergy, opposed to women's ministry, 'defected' to Rome, and, after retraining, became priests in the RC church. Many of these were already married with families (as they were former Church of England vicars) and were still allowed to practise within the RC Church. Many then felt that the celibacy of the priesthood had been breached once-and-for-all, and as there was no divine 'retribution' for such an act, a call for celibacy to be optional in the RC church was made. There have been no decisions either way as yet, but there are still a large number who believe that married RC priests would not only be acceptable but also beneficial to the church.

Because it is not written anywhere that you MUST get married at any age or due to any circumstances. You don't have to marry for sex, you don't have to marry for children, you don't have to marry to live together. If you don't want to get married, then don't. It isn't a legal obligation to marry.

Who can marry you Eg a vicar?
In the Roman Catholic Church, celibacy is optional only for deacons and laypeople. Celibacy is mandatory for any position higher than deacon. You cannot marry a vicar. Deacons can be married before being ordained as a deacon, and can keep their wives afterwards, but if a single man is ordained as a deacon, he cannot be married later. Thus, you can only marry laypeople, and the only position that your spouse can obtain without getting a divorce is a deacon. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, a married man can become a deacon or priest, but if he is ordained as a deacon or priest while unmarried, he cannot get married later. Celibacy is required for any position higher than priest. In most Protestant denominations, any member of the clergy can be married.
