Halakhah for Sanhedrin 56:12
התם בשארו תלה רחמנא אכתי לאו שארו היא הכא משום איקרובי דעתא הוא והא איקרבא דעתיה לגבה:
[if he dies]nor to defile herself.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This latter law is only incidentally stated since even a wife by marriage, or even the daughter of a Priest, has no restriction imposed upon her as regards contact with the dead. Cf. Sot. 23b. ');"><sup>21</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
Regarding the matter of one who was a relative and became distant (no longer a relative), we hold that he is proper (Sanhedrin 28b); and even if there are sons there - as the law is not like Rabbi Yehudah, who holds that if there are sons there, he is disqualified.
