I'm married to a kohein. I don't recall being asked if both of my parents were Jewish, although I admit this may have been for reasons of practicality because the mesader kiddushin already knew my family quite well and knew the answer to the question. I was asked about my family history in terms of conversions, divorces, etc. and I was asked whether I had ever been intimate with a non-Jew.

Right. Except that this was not after the fact. In the case that I know, the girl and boy were Frum, but the girl's father was not Jewish. Their Rabbanim allowed them to get married. I know that it was a complicated circumstance, but there were reasons they allowed it. Not everyone holds by the S"A in every instance.

I am NOT in any way giving a Psak. Every person must ask their Rav, but I know that there are circumstances and opinions that allow it. And I think that with this type of stuff Rabbanim don't take things lightly.

Oy, I'm not a social climber nor do I have a kohan fixation. I don't know many kohanim, and being a ger am only related to people who are Yisrael and to very few Jews in general. As a result, I rarely get the opportunity to do things that are kavodik for Kohanim. If I had a son-in-law who was a kohan, then I could. But, obviously I wouldn't push a future dd to marry a kohan - I'd rather have her marry a non-Jewish mentsch then an abusive Jew.

Sometimes it can technically be "before the fact", yet be treated as if it were "after the fact". I think I wrote that in the last post. Wink

This is standard procedure in dealing with Lichatchila-Bdieved cases.
