In ancient Jewish society, marriage was considered a social expectation, but there was no specific requirement for Pharisees to marry. The Pharisees were a Jewish sect known for their strict adherence to Jewish law and traditions, including marriage customs. While many Pharisees likely chose to marry in order to fulfill societal norms and to adhere to traditional teachings, it was not a formal requirement mandated by their religious beliefs.
The singular possessive form of "pharisee" is "pharisee's," and the plural form is "pharisees'."
Some of the disciples who were Pharisees include Nicodemus and Paul (formerly known as Saul). They were Jewish religious leaders who followed the teachings of the Pharisees before becoming followers of Jesus.
In the Greek Orthodox tradition, priests are allowed to marry before their ordination. However, they cannot marry after they have been ordained. This practice differs from Roman Catholicism, where priests are required to remain celibate.
No, in most religious traditions, secular priests are required to take a vow of celibacy and cannot marry. This includes priests in the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestant denominations.
The scribes and Pharisees charged Jesus with blasphemy, claiming that he was claiming to be God, which was punishable by death according to Jewish law.
Yes, Pharisees were expected to marry, fulfilling their duty to produce children. This is because Judaism teaches that a man is incomplete until he is married with children. As religiously observant Jews, the Pharisees were expected to marry just as their modern descendants today (rabbinical Judaism) are.

Jesus appears to have felt considerable kinship with the Pharisees. He spent long hours in synagogues that were dominated by Pharisees, ate meals with Pharisees, and visited Pharisees in their homes. His arguments with Pharisees make up a significant part of the Gospels. The record of Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees in the Gospels and the record of arguments among the Pharisees in the Talmud suggest that Jesus's style of argument, vehemence and occasional name calling (hypocrites!) were typical Phariseeic behavior. It is quite likely that many Pharisees during Jesus' lifetime considered him to be a Pharisee. Most of what Jesus taught in the Gospels is in accordance with the teachings of the school of Rabbi Hillel -- the more humanist and less legalist school of Phariseeic thought.

Only the Pharisees survived and became today's Jews.
If a Catholic marries, he is required to do this in the presence of a priest, to have his marriage recognized and blessed by the Church. The sacrament of matrimony is one of the seven sacraments, the grace of this particular sacrament is solely oriented towards the spouse. Catholics are not required to be married, but if they do marry, then they must participate in the sacrament.
No.
The Pharisees believed in the letter of the law. Jesus believed in the spirit of the law.
