משנה: וְאֵי זֶהוּ הַבּוֹשֶׁת הַכֹּל לְפִי הַמְבַיֵישׁ וְהַמִּתְבַּיֵישׁ. פְּגָם רוֹאִין אוֹתָהּ כְּאִילּוּ הִיא שִׁפְחָה נִמְכֶּרֶת כַּמָּה הָיְתָה יָפָה וְכַמָּה הִיא יָפָה. קְנָס שָׁוֶה בְּכָל אָדָם. וְכָל שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ קִיצְבָּה מִן הַתּוֹרָה שָׁוֶה בְּכָל אָדָם.
MISHNAH: How much is shame worth? Everything depends on the offender and the offended114The amount is in the discretion of the court subject to the guidelines expressed here.. For diminution of value one considers her as if she were a slave girl to be sold; how much would she have been worth before115As a virgin. and how much would she be worth now. The fine is equal for everybody since everything determined by the Torah is equal for everybody.

הלכה: אֵי זֶהוּ הַבּוֹשֶׁת. הַכֹּל לְפִי הַמְבַיֵישׁ וְהַמִּתְבַּיֵישׁ כול׳. לֹא דוֹמֶה הַמְבַיֵישׁ אֶת הַגָּדוֹל לַמְבַיֵישׁ אֶת הַקָּטָן. לֹא דוֹמֶה מִתְבַּיֵישׁ מִן הַגָּדוֹל לַמִּתְבַּיֵישׁ מִן הַקָּטָן. בּוֹשֶׁת הַגָּדוֹל מְרוּבָּה וְנִזְקוֹ מְמוּעָט. בּוֹשֶׁת הַקָּטָן מְמוּעָט וְנִזְקוֹ מְרוּבָּה.
HALAKHAH: “How much is shame worth? Everything depends on the offender and the offended,” etc. One cannot compare one who is offended by a person of high standing to one offended by a person of low standing. The shame for a person of high standing is great but the injury he incurs is small. The shame for a person of low standing is small but the injury he incurs is great116While the amount of damages is fixed in cases involving virgins, in the case an adult insults another adult, the injured party can sue for damages which have to be fixed following the principle stated here..
