A nun is a woman who has taken special vows committing her to a religious life. She may be an ascetic who chooses to voluntarily leave mainstream society and live her life in prayer and contemplation in a monastery or convent. The term "nun" is applicable to Roman Catholics, Eastern Christians, Anglicans, Jains, Lutherans, Buddhists, and Taoist, for example. The male equivalent of a nun is a monk.

In the Roman Catholic Church, the terms "nun" and "religious sister" have distinct meanings. Women belonging to communities like the Sisters of Charity, or Third Order Franciscans or Dominicans are religious sisters, not nuns. Nuns and sisters are distinguished by the type of vows they take (solemn vow vs. simple vow) and the focus of their good works. The type of vows that are taken are dependent on the Constitutions and/or rule of each community, which are submitted for approval to the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and for Societies of Apostolic Life, a body of the Roman Curia. The religious community of a nun is referred to as a "religious order" while the religious community of a sister is referred to as an "institute" or "congregation". Hence, all nuns are religious sisters, but not all religious sisters are, properly speaking, nuns.

In the Canon law of the Roman Catholic Church, public vows are either simple vows or solemn vows. Professed members of religious orders take solemn vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience (the vows of religion), while members of religious congregations take simple vows. The practical difference lies in the vow of poverty. While in simple vows, a person maintains the right to own goods (but cedes their administration), in solemn vows a person renounces the right of ownership of goods.

It is this solemn vow of poverty (they give up things they own), and chastity (giving up the ways of the world such as marriage, family, etc.) and serve a life devouted to God. It is said (but I can't confirm it yet) that when the nun takes her solemn vow she is being "married" to a life of Christ -- thereby becoming his bride.

You know that hundreds of priests have been charged for sexual offences.If nuns marry the priests , the maintenance of the nuns will be their personal responsiblity and the comfort will also be restricted to one .What will the piests do if all the nuns marry?So please disturb them.

Nun cannot marry and church will not allow.Nun is married to God and second husband(human) is a sin.If one is devoted to God she cannot be devoted to another (man).

Whatever may be the reason. But in actual practice, it is a second life for depressed, suppressed, poor and cheated females. They have a reason to live instead of committing suicide. Why should they marry ?
