Can a nun be married?
Nuns actually CAN get married It is indeed permissible for nuns to get married, but not in the way that you are thinking. When joining a cloister, they do vow themselves to God. However, there have been cases whereby former nuns go on to get married, but only once they have left the monastic lifestyle.২৬ জানু, ২০২০
Can you be a nun if you have a child?
In the Catholic and Benedictine orders, women must be single in order to become nuns. In order to become a nun, a divorced woman must seek and receive an annulment first. Women with children can only become nuns after those children are grown up. Only women who are Catholic or Roman Catholic are accepted in each order.
What if a nun gets pregnant?
Obviously, if a nun who is vowed to practice chastity becomes pregnant, something has happened which is not acceptable. If the Sister wanted to put the child up for adoption, this could happen, but her breaking one of the vows so egregiously is unacceptable. She would be asked to leave.

Do nuns still shave their heads?
Most Catholic nuns and sisters no longer shave their heads. Cutting off the hair was a gesture that symbolized the gift of all herself that the religious sister or nun gives to God, including her femininity and her sexuality. It was also an act of renouncement of vanity.
What happens if a nun wants to leave?
If one leaves their solemn vows (a nun is in solemn lifelong vows; NOT a Sister), they have obviously, by that very fact, excommunicated themselves, and would no longer be in good standing with the Church. A priest does not take vows, although he did promise obedience to his bishop (and his successors).
