Mesorat%20hashas for Bava Kamma 8:4

חֵרֵשׁ, שׁוֹטֶה וְקָטָן, פְּגִיעָתָן רָעָה. הַחוֹבֵל בָּהֶן חַיָּב, וְהֵם שֶׁחָבְלוּ בַּאֲחֵרִים פְּטוּרִין. הָעֶבֶד וְהָאִשָּׁה, פְּגִיעָתָן רָעָה. הַחוֹבֵל בָּהֶן חַיָּב, וְהֵם שֶׁחָבְלוּ בָּאֲחֵרִים, פְּטוּרִין, אֲבָל מְשַׁלְּמִין לְאַחַר זְמָן. נִתְגָּרְשָׁה הָאִשָּׁה, נִשְׁתַּחְרֵר הָעֶבֶד, חַיָּבִין לְשַׁלֵּם:

A deaf-mute, an imbecile, and a minor — their encounter is evil: If one injures them, he is liable; if they injure others, they are exempt. A bondsman and a woman — their encounter is evil. If one injures them, he is liable; if they injure others, they are exempt, [having nothing to pay.] But they pay afterwards, (i.e.,) if the woman is divorced and the bondsman freed [and they acquired property], they are liable to pay. [For they were liable in the beginning, but just lacked the money to pay with. For the melog (usufruct) property of the woman is bound to the husband for fruits and inheritance.]
