If a Cohen has a daughter from a woman he is not allowed to marry, that daughter has the status of Chalala. (The sons have the status of Chalal.)
Any woman who may not marry a Cohen yet has relations with a Cohen gets the status of Chalala.
A Cohen is not allowed to marry a Chalala.
Applies to Cohanim, everywhere, always.
Verse: "A Chalala... they [the Cohanim] may not marry" (Vayikra 21:7)
