Yes, a pope can have a wife, but traditionally, popes in the Roman Catholic Church are expected to remain celibate and unmarried. The vow of celibacy is a long-standing practice for clergy in the Catholic Church. However, there have been instances in history where popes had been married before their papacy or were involved in relationships. In recent times, the notion of a married pope is largely considered incompatible with the current teachings and practices of the Church.
