S. Rubin asks:

If a person cannot prohibit what is not theirs - then how does a married woman who is raped by a stranger become Asur to a Kohen? (Sources please!)

Thanks, S. Rubin

The Kollel replies:

Tosfos Yevamos 83b DH Ein asks a similar question to yours, Shabsi. He asks that if we say that a person cannot prohibit what is not theirs, then why if someone puts a neveila in his friend's pot of food, or if he puts milk in his friend's meaty dish, does this become forbidden? Tosfos answers that the rule of "Ein Adam Oser Davar she-einu shelo" only applies to something which depends on thought; whilst if treifa food was cooked with kosher food, or if meat was mixed with milk, this does not depend on the thinking of the person who did the mixing, but the reality is that the forbidden mixed with the permitted, and makes everything prohibited.

According to this, your question is answered, since it was an action that was done to the woman, and this prohibits her to a Kohen.
