Commentary for Kiddushin 127:9
הניחא לר' ישבב אי לטעמיה דנפשיה שפיר אלא אי לאפוקי מטעמא דר' סימאי קאתי הרי בידו להשיאה לחייבי עשה
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
It is unclear whether R. Yeshvav means to say that even if a man marries a woman who is prohibited by a positive commandment, (such as the prohibition of marrying an Egyptian or Edomite for the first three generation) the child is a mamzer, then our problem is solved. But if all he meant to say is that a widow married to a high priest is a mamzer, then it is still possible for the father to disqualify his daughter by marrying her to someone prohibited by a positive commandment. Such a marriage would be valid and yet she would be disqualified from the priesthood.
