Only in certain ecclesiastical provinces and dioceses. The Spanish Church banned married clergy in the 4th century, for example.

Their were circumstances where it was acceptable for a married man to become a priest (and those circumstances still exist today). But a man who is single and becomes a priest has never been given permission to marry after the fact. At least that's how I understand it.
