Commentary for Ketubot 75:10

א"כ מה ת"ל אשר לא אורשה מופנה להקיש לו ולדון הימנו ג"ש נאמר כאן אשר לא אורשה ונאמר להלן (שמות כב, טו) אשר לא אורשה מה כאן נ' אף להלן נ' ומה להלן שקלים אף כאן שקלים

If so what does Scripture mean when it says “Who has not been betrothed”? It is free for the purpose of a comparison with it and an inference from it by means of a gezerah shavah. Here it is said, “Who has not been betrothed” and elsewhere it is said, “Who has not been betrothed” (Exodus 22:15). Just as here [the fine is that of] fifty [silver coins] so is it fifty [silver coins] there also; and as there [the coins must be] shekels so here also they must be shekels.
