No one is forbidden to marry. Priests choose not to marry.

I'm sure that explains the men who were priests who left the priesthood to marry because they couldn't do both.

Priests are forbidden to marry. A man cannot choose to be married AND a priest.

No one is forced to become a priest. Ergo, marriage is not forbidden to anyone unless they choose to forgo marriage.
