SUMMARY
If a Safek Sotah remarries after the death of her husband, if her second husband dies without children she may do Yibum.
If the wife of a Kohen is raped and he dies without children she may do Yibum with a brother who is a Chalal.(1)
If the wife of a Kohen says that she is Teme'ah, or if witnesses say that she is Teme'ah she may not eat Terumah.
If the wife of a Kohen who is a Safek Sotah says that she will not drink the Mei Sotah, or if her husband refuses to give her the Mei Sotah, or if he is Bo'el her on the way she may not eat Terumah. (2)
Rebbi Sheshes says that if there are witnesses that a woman is Teme'ah the Mei Sotah does not have any effect.
Rebbi says that if a Sotah has merit she will not die immediately from the Mei Sotah, but she will deteriorate slowly until she eventually dies the Misah of a Sotah. (3)
Rebbi Shimon says that a merit will not save a Sotah from dying. (4)
A Minchah may be redeemed if it had not yet been placed in a Kli Shares.
If after the Minchah was placed in a Kli Shares the Sotah admits that she is Teme'ah, or if witnesses testify that she is Teme'ah, the Minchah shall be burned.
If the Minchah of a Sotah becomes Tamei before it is placed in a Kli Shares it may be redeemed; but if it becomes Tamei afterwards it shall be burned.
If the Kometz was placed in a Kli Shares and then the Sotah or her husband died the Minchah shall be burned.
If the Kometz was brought on the Mizbe'ach and the husband or wife died before the Kohen ate the Shirayim, the Minchah is Kosher and may be eaten.
If the witnesses of the Setirah turn out to be Zomemim the Minchah is Chulin. (5)
The guarantee of the Torah that a woman who was exonerated by the Mei Sotah will have children does not apply if there were witnesses that she was Tamei, or if she had merit. (6)
A BIT MORE
1. Once she is raped she is forbidden to her husband and all other Kohanim but she is permitted to a Chalal.
2. If the husband is Bo'el her before she drinks the Mei Sotah she may no longer be given the Mei Sotah and she is prohibited to her husband forever.
3. According to Rebbi Sheshes the Rabanan agree that she will deteriorate but they hold that she will not die the death of a Sotah. Rebbi Yosef holds that according to the Chachamim the merit will help her and she will not deteriorate at all.
4. Because if a merit will save the Sotah that will cause people to slander the women that were exonerated by the Mei Sotah by saying that they were really Teme'os but they were saved because they had merit.
5. Even if the Minchah was already placed in a Kli Shares it is Chulin since it was bought b'Ta'us.
6. Or if the women who gossip are gossiping about her immorality.

BRIEF INSIGHT
ADMITTING GUILT
The Mishnah says that if the wife of a Kohen says that she is Teme'ah she may not eat Terumah. The Tosfos Shantz says that she is also forbidden to her husband. However, she is only forbidden to her husband if she says that she is Teme'ah after there was Kinuy and Setirah, but if there was no Kinuy and Setirah and she says that she is Teme'ah the Mishnah in Nedarim says that she is not believed because we are concerned that she only said that she is Teme'ah because she has her eye on another man.
QUICK HALACHAH
TERUMAH FOR THE WIFE OF A KOHEN
The wife of a Kohen about whom witnesses testify that she had Kinuy and Setirah may not eat Terumah until she drinks the Mei Sotah because she is a Safek Zonah. If her husband dies before she drinks, or if she is one of the women who may not drink and do not receive a Kesuvah, she is forbidden forever from eating Terumah. Any Eshes Kohen who says that she is Teme'ah may not eat Terumah. (Rambam Hilchos Terumah 8:15)
