Commentary for Ketubot 80:3

אלא אמר אביי אמר קרא (דברים כב, כט) תחת אשר עינה הני תחת אשר עינה מכלל דאיכא בושת ופגם רבא אמר אמר קרא (דברים כב, כט) ונתן האיש השוכב עמה לאבי הנערה חמשים כסף הנאת שכיבה נ' מכלל דאיכא בושת ופגם

Rather Abaye said: [This is the explanation]: The verse said, “Because he laid with her”: These [must be paid] “because he laid with her,” (Deuteronomy 22:29) but it may be inferred that [compensation for] shame and blemish must also be paid. Rava said: The verse said, “Then the man that lay with her shall give the girl’s father fifty [shekels of] silver” for the benefit of lying [with her] [he gives] fifty. Thus it may be inferred that [compensation for] shame and blemish must also be paid.
