יתומה שנתארסה ונתגרשה האונס חייב והמפתה פטור – for since she is an orphan and her fine is hers, the logical support is towards him, for of her own free will she was seduced to him and he is exempt. But not only an orphan, but rather, any young woman who was betrothed and divorced, the rapist is liable and the seducer is exempt like the orphan-girl, for the fine is for herself, as is stated by Rabbi Akiva above (in Mishnah 3 of this chapter) and such is the Halakha.
יתומה שנתארסה ונתגרשה האונס חייב והמפתה פטור. דכיון דיתומה היא וקנסה שלה הוא, הא אחילתיה גביה, דמדעתה נתפתתה לו ופטור. ולא יתומה בלבד אלא כל נערה שנתארסה ונתגרשה אונס חייב ומפתה פטור. כיתומה, דהא קנסה לעצמה כדאמר ר׳ עקיבא לעיל, וכן הלכה:

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.
