How do monks get married and have children?

Monks can also marry and have children.

There are three sects of Buddhism, which allow monks to get married, have children, drink alcohol and eat meat. One is Tantric Buddhism, the other is Zen Buddhism, and the other is Pure Land Buddhism. Many people say why Japanese monks can get married, because pure land Sect is very popular in Japan, and monks can get married and have children, and this is allowed by national laws.

In the relevant laws of our country, there is actually no provision prohibiting monks from getting married, that is to say, the law stipulates the right of citizens to get married. Therefore, as long as it conforms to the provisions of China's marriage law, monks can also get married. Their marriage is protected by law, but it violates Buddhist precepts.

The origin of monks:

"Monk" originally came from Sanskrit, meaning "teacher". Monk is a kind of honorific title. Monks can only be called monks if they are qualified as teachers. Not everyone can be called a monk. This title is not limited to men, but also includes qualified monks.

But later, this word was used as a title for ordinary monks, and it was generally considered as a male-only noun, which was inconsistent with the original intention.
