#The daughter of a non-Jew and a Jewish mother may not marry a kohen. If they got married after the fact they may stay married. If they were married civilly and now want to do chupa and kiddushin, many rabbis wouldn’t allow the marriage.<Ref>Igrot Moshe EH 1:5 is strict because the isur of a daughter of a non-Jew and a Jewish mother to a kohen is deoritta. Even though they’re allowed to each other after the fact it isn’t allowed just because they’re civilly married. [https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=21291&st=&pgnum=322 Shemesh Umagen EH 3:58] is lenient even if they were civilly married or even just living together for a while. He holds that the entire isur is derabbanan. Mishna Lmelech and Shaar Hamelech (cited by Pitchei Teshuva 4:3) hold it is an isur deoritta, while Rabbi Akiva Eiger (91, cited by Pitchei Teshuva 6:15) holds it is only derabbanan.</ref> | |||
