BRIEF INSIGHT

A KOHEN GADOL AND A MEFUTAS ATZMO
 
The Gemara says that a Kohen Gadol who seduced a girl and subsequently married her does not have to pay a Kenas (fine), even though he is obligated to divorce her. Tosfos asks that since he is obligated to divorce her, what difference does it make that he is not obligated to pay a Kenas? In any case he must pay her a Kesuvah (which is the same amount as the Kenas). Tosfos answers that he is obligated to divorce her only mid'Rabanan, but Min ha'Torah he may remain with her. Since he is allowed to remain with her Min ha'Torah, a child born from this union will not be a Chalal, even according to Rebbi Eliezer ben Yakov.

QUICK HALACHAH

RELATIVES OF A KOHEN GADOL
 
A Kohen Gadol may not become Tamei for a sister who is an Arusah, even if her Chasan is a Kohen, or if she was raped or seduced. However, he may become Tamei for a sister who was an Arusah and subsequently was divorced, or if she was a Bogeres or Mukas Etz. (Shulchan Aruch YD 373:5)
