I know that someone is considered a zona if they have had forbidden relations including with non-Jews and those in their family but what if this were found to happen whilst they are already married so do they have to get divorced?

  • You include two questions, Wife and Cohen Wife. Cohen wife has two problems. EG in a case of rape, when an Israel wife isn't prohibited, a Cohen wife is. For a Cohen, there is a prohibition called Zona. A forbided relationship or a relationship with a Pasul, even if permitted makes her a Zona.

  • Welcome to Mi Yodeya. Always ask a rabbi about practical cases, but as a general rule, even if it was before they were married they would have to get divorced.

We'll add sources later, but the answer is certainly yes. Any married Jewish woman who willingly sleeps with another man (Jewish or otherwise) needs to get divorced, and a kohen's wife has to do so even if she's raped, God forbid.
