Reference for Yevamot 6:3

אַלְמָנָה לְכֹהֵן גָּדוֹל, גְּרוּשָׁה וַחֲלוּצָה לְכֹהֵן הֶדְיוֹט, מִן הָאֵרוּסִין לֹא יֹאכְלוּ בַתְּרוּמָה. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַכְשִׁירִין. נִתְאַרְמְלוּ אוֹ נִתְגָּרְשׁוּ, מִן הַנִּשּׂוּאִין פְּסוּלוֹת, מִן הָאֵרוּסִין כְּשֵׁרוֹת:

A widow to a high-priest, a divorcée and a chalutzah to a regular priest — from betrothal they may not eat terumah. [Because her betrothal was one of transgression, she is rendered unfit to eat the terumah of her father's house if she is the daughter of a Cohein.] R. Eliezer and R. Shimon permit it [until he cohabits with her, it being written (Leviticus 21:15): "And he shall not profane (velo vechalel) his seed" — two chilulim (profanations), one for her and one for her seed. The halachah is not in accordance with them, but she may not eat terumah even from betrothal.] If they were widowed or divorced from marriage [from these Cohanim], they are unfit (to eat terumah) [for they are rendered chalaloth by cohabitation]. (If they were widowed or divorced) from betrothal, they are permitted (to eat terumah) [for even the first tanna renders them unfit only in their (husbands') lifetimes, when they await forbidden cohabitation, but not when their husbands have died.]
