According to Shulchan Aruch, Even Ha'Ezer 7:17 and commentaries there, they should not marry. However, if they did so, they may remain together and need not divorce.

	Does the Cohen lose any Cohanic privileges? I would assume not, or else the commentaries would have said something. – Menachem Jun 22 '11 at 19:30
	@Menachem: that, plus anyway I don't think he loses Kohanic privileges for something like this which is just pegam but not an outright issur. – Alex Jun 24 '11 at 5:48
