הכל לפי המבייש. אדם בינוני המבייש, בשתו קשה מאדם בזוי ומאדם חשוב. כך מצאתי בפירושי רבותי. ובפרק החובל מצאתי דאדם קל שבייש, בושתו מרובה. וכן עיקר:
והמתבייש. לפי חשיבותו בושתו:
כאילו היא שפחה. אומדין כמה אדם רוצה ליתן בין שפחה בתולה לשפחה בעולה להשיאה לעבדו שיש לרבו קורת רוח הימנו. ובגמרא פריך מנלן דנותן בושת ופגם וצער, אימא חמשים כסף אמר רחמנא לכל מילי. ומתרץ, אמר קרא (דברים כ״ב:כ״ט) ונתן האיש השוכב עמה לאבי הנערה חמשים כסף, הנאת שכיבה לבד היא חמשים כסף חוץ מהבושת והפגם והצער:

Bartenura
כל מקום שיש מכר – to the father regarding his daughter, that is, while she is in her youth, he has no fine in regard to her, for there is no fine for a minor. But the Halakha is not like this Mishnah, for this Mishnah is according to Rabbi Meir who states that a minor girl has no fine, but the Sages state that a minor girl has a fine. And a minor girl in this regard is someone from age three until age twelve years and one day who brings forth two [pubic] hairs.
וכל מקום שיש קנס – when she is a young woman and this is when she is from twelve years and one day old and she brought forth two [pubic] hairs – like this she has a fine.
אין מכר – for a man does not sell her daughter when she is a young woman.
הבוגרת – from twelve years of age and six months and one day, and she has brought forth two [pubic] hairs, she is what is called a mature woman and her father cannot sell her and she does not have a fine.
כל מקום שיש מכר. לאב בבתו, דהיינו בקטנותה, אין לו בה קנס, דאין קנס לקטנה. ולית הלכתא כהא מתניתין, דהא מתניתין ר׳ מאיר היא דאמר קטנה אין לה קנס. אבל חכמים אומרים קטנה יש לה קנס, והלכה כחכמים. וקטנה לענין זה היא מבת ג׳ עד י״ב שנה ויום אחד ותביא שתי שערות:
כל מקום שיש קנס. משהיא נערה. והיא כשתהיה בת י״ב שנה ויום אחד והביאה שתי שערות, שזו יש לה קנס:
אין מכר. שאין אדם מוכר את בתו כשהיא נערה:
הבוגרת. מבת שתים עשרה שנה וששה חדשים ויום אחד והביאה שתי שערות היא הנקראת בוגרת, ואין אביה יכול למכרה ואין לה קנס:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?

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.

הכל לפי המבייש – an average person who shames, his shame is harder than a despised person and/or from an important person. This is what I found in the explanations of my teachers. But in the [eight chapter of Bava Kamma], the Chapter of החובל /One who causes injury, I found that a simple person who is shamed, his shame is greater, and this is the essence (see the statement in Tractate Bava Kamma, Chapter 8, Mishnah 6: זה הכלל: הכל לפי כבודו – This is the general principle: Everything is according to one’s station/status).
והמתבייש – according to his importance is his shame.
כאילו היא שפחה – we appraise how much a man wants to give whether for a virgin maidservant or for a maidservant who has had intercourse to marry her to his servant whose master has satisfaction from him. And in the Gemara (Tractate Ketubot 40b) raises a question: from where [in the Torah] do we learn that he pays for shame, and damage and pain? I would say that the All-Merciful said (Deuteronomy 22:29): “fifty [shekels of] silver,” to all the words and he answers, Scripture states (Deuteronomy 22:29): “The man who lay her shall pay the girl’s father fifty [shekels of] silver,[and she shall be his wife].” The pleasure of lying is separate, the fifty [shekels of] silver is outside of the shame and the damage and the pain.
