Bartenura
עד שתהא נערה – and not a female minor younger than the age of twelve years and one day, nor an adult woman who has passed twelve years, sixth months and a day.
בתולה – and not a woman who is no longer a virgin, and if she had intercourse in an unnatural manner, she is still a virgin, and even if ten men came upon her altogether in an unnatural manner, they would all be punished by stoning.
מאורסה – but not married.
והיא בבית אביה – but if the father sent [her] to the agents of the husband, and he came upon her afterwards, [his punishment] is not by stoning, but by choking.
עד שתהא נערה. ולא קטנה פחותה מבת שתים עשרה שנה ויום אחד, ולא בוגרת שעברו עליה שתים עשרה שנה וששה חדשים ויום אחד:
בתולה. ולא בעולה. ואם נבעלה שלא כדרכה עדיין בתולה היא. ואפילו באו עליה עשרה בני אדם כולם שלא כדרכה כולם בסקילה:
מאורסה. ולא נשואה:
והיא בבית אביה. שאם מסר האב לשלוחי הבעל, הבא עליה אח״כ אינו בסקילה אלא בחנק:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
