Question

Hello! I would like to know if today there is room to permit female soldiers who returned from captivity in Gaza to marry a Kohen?

Answer

Hello 

Despite the fundamental rule that a captive is forbidden to marry a Kohen, there are many details that can permit this. 

Details depend on personal and precise data.

It is clear that if the matter comes to practical discussion, the released individual will need to sit with the rabbinical court and detail her situation and history thoroughly.
