Hold on: you’re saying priests were *never* allowed to marry? If that is the case, then there’s no real need to answer my question since it was based on the (rather common) belief that they were barred from marriage a very long time ago.

Ordained first, then married: never done (as far as I'm aware.)

Married first, then ordained: OK for deacons, and for priests under some rites.
