If a Cohen married a giyores (convert), they had children born after the conversion of their mother, and the children had to do a geirus lechumra because the mothers' conversion was not done by reliable rabbanim, can the daughter marry a cohen?

Racheli, it sounds from your questions like you are thinking about a specific case of someone you know. You really need to speak to a rabbi who knows you with the details to get a final ruling. This site isn't a rabbi and it isn't cut out for handling complex real life rulings like yours. – Double AA Apr 14 '16 at 17:02

At first glance the daughter is either herself a convert, or the product of a kohen's prohibited marriage to a convert, i.e. a chalala. Either way she'd be prohibited from marrying a Kohen.

@kouty, how so? If he's not halachically Jewish, he's fine. If he is, then he's a challal, which sucks for his kids. – Noach MiFrankfurt Apr 14 '16 at 17:08

@NoachmiFrankfurt precisely! It is a big kula to say that he is not halachically jew – kouty Apr 14 '16 at 18:26

@kouty, so a son of a Kohen and a giyores of questionable status is a challal rather than being of questionable status due to his mother? – Noach MiFrankfurt Apr 14 '16 at 18:27

@racheliappelbaum please see http://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/28114/can-the-descendants-of-a-mamzer-ever-become-full-jews . Any process by which a mamzer man could father a non-mamzer child would also apply to a chalal fathering a non-chalal child. – Shalom Feb 27 '17 at 00:57
