67 [1] A virgin that was widowed, divorced, or was released from a Levirite marriage during the time of engagement, and was [subsequently] married, her ketubah is worth 200 [shekel] and she has the claim of virgins. [2] If a woman was widowed, divorced, or released from a Levirite marriage after being married, for example after she has gone to the chuppah, she is assumed to be a non-virgin woman and her [ketubah] is 100 and she does not have the claim of virgins, even if she has witnesses that she was never alone with the first [husband] [3] A convert, a woman taken captive, and a maidservant that was redeemed, converted, or freed: if she is less than three-years-old and a day, their ketubah is [worth] 200 [shekel] and they have claim of virgins; from 3-years-old and a day and above, their ketubah is 100 [shekel] and they do not have the claim of virgins. [4] A female child less than three-years-old and one day that was taken as a wife, even if an adult had relations with her, her ketubah is 200 [zuz]; a child less than 9-years-old and a day that had relations with an adult woman, her ketubah is worth 200 [zuz], but only if he did not break her hymen, but if he broke her hymen, she gets only 100 [zuz] [5] 5 One wounded by [for example] a piece of wood [and therefore physically missing her hymen], her ketuba is a mana. And [this is the case] even if he did not recognize this and cohabitated with her assuming that she was an intact virgin. But if he cohabitated with her assuming that she was a virgin, and she was found to be sexually experienced, she gets not even one mana. [6] 6 A virgin who is old or blind: her ketuba is 200; and similarly an * aylonit * [who does not develop secondary sexual characteristics], her ketuba is 200. [7] 7 For the mentally incompetent woman they [the Rabbis] established no form of marriage at all. [8] 8 For the deaf-mute woman, even though they allotted her Rabbinic-level marriage, they did not allot her a ketubah, or food stipend, or any of the stipulations of the ketubah, and if one moved in with a deaf-mute woman and she developed [speech], or a mentally incompetent woman and she recovered, she gets a ketubah and all ketubah stipuations, and her ketubah [is worth] a mana. [9] He raised up a deaf person or a simpleton [in marriage], and he wrote her [a ketuba worth] 100 mana, her ketuba stands in case she damages his property. [10] A deaf person or a simpleton that are raised up, even though the deaf person gained hearing or the simple person gained knowledge, there is no wifehood upon them, all of them. [If ] they wanted to stand [for marriage] after their recovery, they get a ketuba, and their ketuba is [worth] a mana. And if [there was] a court that officiated [the marriage of] the deaf person and they wrote her a ketuba [previously] on his property, she takes all that the court wrote for her [in the original ketuba], but the simpleton, there is no court [needed] for nullification of it (the original ketuba). [11] A minor, even from nine years and up, that his father marries off, [his wife] has no * Ketubah *; but if he had relations with her after he matured, she has no main part of the * Ketubah *, [which is] 200 [Zuz] for a virgin, and a * Maneh * for a widow; but the additional part that he writes her while a minor, she doesn't have, even if * Beis Din * married her. And even the main part [of the * Ketubah *] she can't collect by the power of the * Ketubah * document, but only by condition of * Beis Din *. Therefore, she can only collect from his current property (lit. sons of the free) and not from [property with] a lien that he sold since he was a minor. And so is the law with a convert that converted with his wife, and the only difference [between this case and the one above] is that in this one, her * Ketubah * is only a * Maneh * according to the Rambam.
