Canon 6
On the prohibition of clergy (and subdeacons) from marrying after ordination.
Since the apostolic canons say that of the celibates promoted to the clergy, only readers and singers can marry, then we, observing this, determine that from now on in no case will a subdeacon, or deacon, or presbyter after ordination be allowed to enter into marital cohabitation, and if he dares to do this, let him be deposed. If anyone entering the clergy wants to marry his wife according to the law of marriage, then let him do this before being ordained as a subdeacon, or deacon, or presbyter.
Greek original
Ἐπειδὴ παρὰ τοῖς ἀποστολικοῖς κανόσιν εἴρηται, τῶν εἰς κλῆρον προαγομένων ἀγάμων, μόνους ἀναγνώστας, καὶ ψάλτας γαμεῖν καὶ ἡμεῖς τοῦτο παραφυλάττοντες, ὁρίζομεν ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μηδαμῶς ὑποδιάκονον, ἢ διάκονον, ἢ πρεσβύτερον, μετὰ τὴν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ χειροτονίαν, ἔχειν ἄδειαν, γαμικὸν ἑαυτῷ συνιστᾷν συνοικέσιον. Εἰ δὲ τοῦτο τολμήσοι ποιῆσαι, καθαιρείσθω. Εἰ δὲ βούλοιτό τις τῶν εἰς κλῆρον προερχομένων, γάμου νόμῳ συνάπτεσθαι γυναικῖ, πρὸ τῆς τοῦ ὑποδιακόνου, ἢ διακόνου, ἢ πρεσβυτέρου χειροτονίας τοῦτο πραττέτω.
