Commentary for Sanhedrin 7:9

הַבָּא עַל נַעֲרָה הַמְאֹרָסָה, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב עַד שֶׁתְּהֵא נַעֲרָה בְתוּלָה מְאֹרָסָה וְהִיא בְבֵית אָבִיהָ. בָּאוּ עָלֶיהָ שְׁנַיִם, הָרִאשׁוֹן בִּסְקִילָה וְהַשֵּׁנִי בְּחֶנֶק:

If one lives with a betrothed maiden, he is not liable (to stoning) unless she be a maiden (na'arah) [and not a minor, less than twelve years and one day, and not a bogereth, older than twelve years six months and one day], a virgin, [and not one who had had intercourse. And if she had had non-normative (i.e., anal) intercourse, she is still considered a virgin, so that even if ten men had such intercourse with her, all are liable to stoning], betrothed [and not wedded], and in her father's house. [For if her father had given her over to the husband's messengers, one who lives with her thereafter is not liable to stoning but to strangulation.] If two men lived with her, the first is liable to stoning, and the second to strangulation.
