[Sifrei Devarim 245:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/245:5)

**וְלוֹ תִהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה**, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁשּׁוֹתֶה בַּעֲצִיצוֹ, וַאֲפִלּוּ הִיא חִגֶּרֶת, וַאֲפִלּוּ הִיא סוּמָה, וַאֲפִלּוּ הִיא מֻכַּת שְׁחִין. נִמְצָא בָהּ דְּבַר זִמָּה, אוֹ שֶׁאֵינָהּ רְאוּיָה לָבוֹא בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, יָכוֹל יְהֵא רַשַּׁי לְקַיְּמָהּ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **וְלוֹ תִהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה**, בְּאִשָּׁה הָרְאוּיָה לוֹ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"and to him shall she be as a wife": We are hereby taught that he must "quaff his bitter cup" — even if she be lame or blind or covered with boils. If there were in her a thing of *zimah* (obscenity) or if she were not fit to marry into Israel, I might think that he were permitted to keep her as a wife; it is, therefore, written "and to him shall she be as a wife" — (connoting) a woman who is (halachically) fit for him (as a wife).

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"because he afflicted her": to include an orphaned girl (as receiving the fine). From here they ruled: An orphaned girl who was widowed or divorced, the ravisher is liable (for the penalty); the enticer is exempt.
