Commentary for Sanhedrin 138:2
לא מאי חייב עליה דקתני קרבן
Hence it must be that we take into account only the majority, and the majority of women are not constitutionally barren! No. The penalty incurred on her account is a sacrifice, [but not death]. But it is explicitly stated, 'They are executed on her account?' — That refers to incest by her father. But the statement is, If any of the forbidden degrees had intercourse with her?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This includes the violation of the marriage bond. ');"><sup>3</sup></span> — Hence this [Mishnah] refers to a husband who explicitly accepted her under all conditions.
