halacha - What happens to the family of a Kohen today if his wife is a victim of rape?


What happens to the family of a Kohen today if his wife is a victim of rape?


What are the steps taken and how does this come to be resolved according to halachah and in the most constructive way for them to deal with such a tragedy as human beings?



Also, can a divorce be avoided?


Some background: What differentiates the wife of a Kohen who is raped from any other victim, is that Jewish law prohibits the Kohen from being married to a woman who had intercourse with ANY other man while she is married. Harsh as it is it seems in the case of a rape the marriage must end.
