Yes, and it does. Here is the universal rule of the Universal Church on priests and marriage. Once ordained, they can't marry. That's the universally observed rule. It is observed by all Catholics and Eastern Orthodox (as far as I know).
Beyond that there are different rules according to the particular churches. Neither Catholics nor Orthodox have married bishops. But only the Orthodox choose their bishops exclusively from monasteries.
Still, particular churches have their own particular rules about celibacy or married clergy.

Right
