Q

רבי יהודה אומר אף האומרת הניחו לו שלא יהרגנה: במאי קמיפלגי

A

§ The baraita cited previously teaches: Rabbi Yehuda disagrees with the Rabbis and says: Also, if the betrothed young woman says to those who come to rescue her: Let the rapist be, she is saying this so that he should not kill her, and therefore the rapist is not killed. The Gemara asks: With regard to what do they disagree?

Q

אמר רבא במקפדת על פיגמה ומניחתו שלא יהרגנה רבנן סברי אפיגמה קפיד רחמנא והרי מקפדת על פיגמה ורבי יהודה האי דקאמר רחמנא קטליה משום דמסרה נפשה לקטלא הא לא מסרה נפשה לקטלא

A

Rava says: They disagree about the case where the young woman is particular about the degradation that she is to suffer as a result of the rape, but nevertheless she allows him to rape her so that he should not kill her. The Rabbis maintain that the Torah is particular about her degradation, which is why the rapist may be killed, and she too is particular about her degradation. And Rabbi Yehuda maintains that the Merciful One says that a rapist must be killed because his victim is prepared to sacrifice her life rather than yield to rape. The woman in this case, however, who asks that the rapist not be harmed, is not prepared to sacrifice her life, and therefore her rapist may not be killed.

Q

אמר ליה רב פפא לאביי אלמנה לכהן גדול נמי קא פגים לה אמר ליה אפיגמה רבה קפיד רחמנא אפיגמה זוטא לא קפיד רחמנא:

A

Rav Pappa said to Abaye: If the reason that the rapist may be killed is the woman’s degradation, as claimed by the Rabbis, a High Priest also degrades a widow when he engages in intercourse with her, as he makes her a ḥalala, a woman who is disqualified from marrying a priest. Why then is she not saved even at the cost of her attacker’s life? Abaye said to Rav Pappa: For a great level of degradation, involving karet and potentially a child that is a mamzer, the Merciful One is particular; but for a small level of degradation, as in the case of a ḥalala, the Merciful One is not particular.
