No they can’t. Their priests can be married before ordination, but their priests can’t marry after. This may have been what you meant, but the way you phrased it could be confusing for some.

Also, this was the case for the Latin rite too before it was mandatory to have taken a vow of celibacy. Men can be married and then become a priest, but not the other way around.
Exactly, sorry for not being clear.
I think universally, a married man can become a priest, but a priest can not become a married man.
