If a KG wishes to marry now, i.e. after his appointment as a KG, then indeed he must marry a betulah. However, if, prior to his appointment as KG, he was ALREADY married to a woman who was not a betulah (but kosher to a kohen), he may remained married to her.<br /><br />One imagines that in most situations, the Kohen being appointed KG was mature and had been married for some time. In such situations, his wife could well be considerably older than 12, indeed a mature woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-44882341894784356962007-01-11T11:38:00.000-05:002007-01-11T11:38:00.000-05:00That's a good point.
