[Ketubot 29a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/29a:1)

**אֵלּוּ נְעָרוֹת** שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהֶן קְנָס: הַבָּא עַל הַמַּמְזֶרֶת וְעַל הַנְּתִינָה וְעַל הַכּוּתִית, הַבָּא עַל הַגִּיּוֹרֶת וְעַל הַשְּׁבוּיָה וְעַל הַשִּׁפְחָה שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ וְשֶׁנִּתְגַּיְּירוּ וְשֶׁנִּשְׁתַּחְרְרוּ, פְּחוּתוֹת מִבְּנוֹת שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **These** are the cases of **young women for whom there is a fine** paid **to their** fathers by one who rapes them: **One who engages in intercourse with a *mamzeret*, or with a Gibeonite woman [*netina*],** who are given [*netunim*] to the service of the people and the altar (see Joshua 9:27), **or with a Samaritan woman [*kutit*].** In addition, the same applies to **one who engages in intercourse with a female convert, or with a captive woman, or with a maidservant,** provided **that** the captives **were ransomed,** or **that** the converts **converted, or that** the maidservants **were liberated** when they were **less than three years and one day old,** as only in that case do they maintain the presumptive status of a virgin.


###### Ketubot 29a:2
[Ketubot 29a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/29a:2)

הַבָּא עַל אֲחוֹתוֹ, וְעַל אֲחוֹת אָבִיו, וְעַל אֲחוֹת אִמּוֹ, וְעַל אֲחוֹת אִשְׁתּוֹ, וְעַל אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו, וְעַל אֵשֶׁת אֲחִי אָבִיו, וְעַל הַנִּדָּה — יֵשׁ לָהֶם קְנָס, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהֵן בְּהִכָּרֵת — אֵין בָּהֶן מִיתַת בֵּית דִּין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Similarly, **one who engages in intercourse with his sister,** i.e., he rapes her, **or with his father’s sister, or with his mother’s sister, or with his wife’s sister, or with his brother’s wife, or with his father’s brother’s wife** after they divorced, **or with a menstruating woman, there is a fine** paid. **Although there is *karet* for** engaging in relations with any of the women enumerated in this list, one is liable to pay the fine because **there is no court**-imposed **capital punishment.** In cases where there is a court-imposed death penalty, the rapist would be exempt from paying the fine.

[Ketubot 29a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/29a:3)

**גְּמָ׳** הָנֵי נְעָרוֹת, פְּסוּלוֹת אִית לְהוּ קְנָס, כְּשֵׁירוֹת לָא?! הָכִי קָאָמַר: אֵלּוּ נְעָרוֹת פְּסוּלוֹת שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהֶם קְנָס — הַבָּא עַל הַמַּמְזֶרֶת וְעַל הַנְּתִינָה וְעַל הַכּוּתִית.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara wonders: Is it **these young women** with **flawed** lineage listed in the mishna, **for whom there is a fine** paid if they are raped, while for young women with **unflawed** lineage, **no,** there is no fine? The Gemara explains that **this** is what the *tanna* **is saying: These are** the **young women** with **flawed** lineage **for whom there is a fine** paid if they are raped. This is not a comprehensive list; rather, the *tanna* enumerates those young women for whom a fine is paid despite their flawed lineage: **One who has relations with a *mamzeret*, or with a Gibeonite woman, or with a Samaritan woman.**


###### Ketubot 29a:4
[Ketubot 29a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/29a:4)

נַעֲרָה אִין, קְטַנָּה לָא. מַאן תַּנָּא?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna teaches the *halakha* with regard to a young woman, from which the Gemara infers: With regard to **a young woman, yes,** one is liable to pay the fine if he rapes her, but with regard to **a minor, no,** one is not liable to pay the fine. **Who is** the ***tanna*** who maintains that one is liable for raping a young woman but not a minor?


###### Ketubot 29a:5
[Ketubot 29a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/29a:5)

אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר רַב: רַבִּי מֵאִיר הִיא. דְּתַנְיָא: קְטַנָּה מִבַּת יוֹם אֶחָד וְעַד שֶׁתָּבִיא שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת — יֵשׁ לָהּ מֶכֶר וְאֵין לָהּ קְנָס. וּמִשֶּׁתָּבִיא שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת וְעַד שֶׁתִּיבְגַּר — יֵשׁ לָהּ קְנָס וְאֵין לָהּ מֶכֶר. דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. שֶׁהָיָה רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר: כׇּל מָקוֹם שֶׁיֵּשׁ מֶכֶר — אֵין קְנָס, וְכׇל מָקוֹם שֶׁיֵּשׁ קְנָס — אֵין מֶכֶר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yehuda said** that **Rav said:** The *tanna* **is Rabbi Meir, as it is taught** in a *baraita*: **With regard to a minor from** the age of **one day old until she grows two** pubic **hairs, there is** the possibility of **sale for her,** as her father may sell her as a Hebrew maidservant, **but there is no fine** paid **for her** if she is raped. **And once she grows two** pubic **hairs,** from that point **until she matures** into a grown woman **there is a fine for her,** as during that period she is a young woman, with regard to whom the Torah law of a rapist and a seducer applies, **but there is no** possibility of **sale for her.** Once she grows two hairs she is no longer under her father’s control and can no longer be sold. This is **the statement of Rabbi Meir, as Rabbi Meir would state** a principle: **Any place where there is a sale, there is no fine; and any place where there is a fine, there is no sale.**


###### Ketubot 29a:6
[Ketubot 29a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/29a:6)

וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: קְטַנָּה מִבַּת שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד וְעַד שֶׁתִּיבְגַּר — יֵשׁ לָהּ קְנָס. קְנָס אִין, מֶכֶר לָא?! אֵימָא:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the Rabbis say: With regard to a minor from** the age of **three years and one day old until she matures** into a grown woman, **there is a fine for her.** The Gemara asks: Is that to say that a **fine, yes,** there is, but a **sale, no,** there is not? Do the Rabbis maintain that the father has no right to sell his minor daughter? The Gemara emends the text: **Say:**
