#One is forbidden to cause a minor kohen to come into contact with a corpse.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 373:1 based on Yevamot 114a based on Vayikra 21:1. Shach 373:1 discusses if the child reaches the age of chinuch then some say you should stop him from coming into contact with a corpse</ref> | |||
#Some permit a minor kohen from coming into contact with the corpse of a relative,<ref>Vayikra 21:2 says that a kohen is generally allowed to come into contact with the corpse of one of the following seven relatives: spouse, mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter.</ref> but others prohibit it.<ref>Pitchay Teshuva Y.D. 373:1 explains that a minor is not obligated in aveilut, so perhaps he is not permitted to come into contact with the corpse. On the other hand, perhaps the chinuch is for when he is older, and he will be able to come into contact with the corpse when he is older.</ref> | |||
#A pregnant kohen is allowed to come into contact with a corpse.<ref>Shach Y.D. 373:1 quotes from the Rokeach that it is a double doubt, maybe it is a girl and even if it is a boy, it may be a stillborn.</ref> | |||
