Shulchan Aruch (Y.D. 61:8):
"Matnas Kehuna
may be
given to a כהנת (female)
even if she is
married to a Yisroel. "
The Chasam Sofer (Shu"t
Y.D. 301)
writes he used to give* it to
his brother in law**
(who was married to a כהנת)
There is a Machlokes Rishonim
If a כהנת may also redeem a
Bechor.
According to Tosfos
(Kiddushin 8a dh R. Kahane)
2nd Tirutz one may
use a כהנת for Pidyon Haben.
The Chasam Sofer writes If a כהן
isn't available
and the person who never had
a Pidyon is in the
Gevuros (the eighties) or a זריז who has no access
to a כהן on the 30th day
(they both don't want to take chances of dying
before having performed the Mitzvah)
They should use a כהנת
without making
the Bracha. They should make
a תנאי that if no
כהן will be found, she shall
be the redeemer.
*Halachically not necessary
**This Teshuva is dated
before the Petirah
of his first wife,
therefore, it must have
been R' Hirsh
Yervitz zt"l (unless there were
other brothers in the
Yervitz Mishpacha)
