Commentary for Yevamot 138:16

איכא דאמרי בבא עליה כ"ע לא פליגי דבתריה דידיה שדינן ליה והכי איתמר ארוסה שעיברה רב אמר הולד ממזר ושמואל אמר הולד שתוקי אמר רבא מסתברא מילתיה דרב דלא דיימא מיניה ודיימא מעלמא

the child is deemed to be a bastard even where she is not suspected of such relations with others. What is the reason? Because it is assumed that as she exposed herself to the man who betrothed her so she exposed herself to others also; but our Mishnah<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which regards the child as the son of the violator or seducer. ');">⁵⁷</span> deals with the case where both of them<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The man and the woman. ');">⁵⁸</span> were imprisoned in the same gaol.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Where no intercourse with any other man was possible. ');">⁵⁹</span> Others say: Where he<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The man who betrothed her.

Where a betrothed woman became pregnant, Rab ruled: Such a child is a bastard; and Samuel ruled: The child is a shethuki.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Only a doubtful bastard. V. Glos. and Kid. 6.
