129 Kiddushin 4/5-8

(5) We do not investigate neither from the altar and above, nor from the platform and above, nor from the Sanhedrin [highest court, charged with deciding cases and appeals that had national significance. It was comprised of 71 scholars who had received the full traditional rabbinical ordination, and its decisions fixed Jewish practice for subsequent generations.] and above. Anyone whose fathers were established [i.e., known] to be officers of the masses, [or] collector of charity may marry into the priesthood, and there is no need to investigate them. Rabbi Yossi says, "Even one who was signed as a witness in the old court of Zippori." Rabbi Hanina, son of Antigonos says, "Even one who was written in the King's military roster."

(6) The daughter of a chalal is disqualified to [marry into] the priesthood forever. [With regard to] an Israelite who married a chalalah, his daughter is valid. [With regard to] a chalal who married the daughter of an Israelite, his daughter is disqualified to [marry into] the priesthood. Rabbi Yehuda says, "The daughter of a male convert is like the daughter of a chalal.

(7) Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov says, "[With regard to] an Israelite who married a female proselyte, his daughter is fit to [marry into] the priesthood. And [with regard to] a male proselyte who married the daughter of an Israelite, his daughter is fit to [marry into] the priesthood. But [with regard to] a male proselyte who married a female proselyte— his daughter is disqualified [from marrying into] the priesthood. [This is true] both for proselytes and for freed slaves, even for ten generations, until one's mother is a [naturally-born] Jew." Rabbi Yossi says, "Even [with regard to] a male proselyte who married a female proselyte, his daughter is fit to [marry into] the priesthood.

(8) One who says, "This son of mine is a mamzer," is not believed. Even if both [parents] say regarding a fetus which is in her womb, "It is a mamzer," they are not believed. Rabbi Yehudah says, "They are believed."
