The marriage of priests and the laws and positions of clergy in the Anglican Church

This article examines the laws of the Anglican Church over the centuries,  regarding the marriage of priests and the challenges they face, as well as women's priesthood positions and their natural rights. The Anglican religion, one of the leading denominations of Christianity, was founded and established in the Episcopal Church of England. It is an independent religion. Although it was formed from within Protestantism, but is religiously different from it.  Marriage and priestly positions are notable in this religion. The marriage laws in this church have undergone many and significant changes and innovations over the centuries. In the early centuries of Christianity, medieval Europe enforced the law according to the precepts of the Shari'a. The Fourth Lateran Council (1215) forbade secret marriage. The marriages were to be publicly announced by the priests in the church. Church positions were held in such a discriminatory manner that women were seldom placed in their proper place and their abilities were completely ignored.
