Quoting%20commentary for Ketubot 3:9

הָאוֹמֵר פִּתִּיתִי אֶת בִּתּוֹ שֶׁל פְּלוֹנִי, מְשַׁלֵּם בֹּשֶׁת וּפְגָם עַל פִּי עַצְמוֹ, וְאֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם קְנָס. הָאוֹמֵר גָּנַבְתִּי וְטָבַחְתִּי וּמָכָרְתִּי, מְשַׁלֵּם אֶת הַקֶּרֶן עַל פִּי עַצְמוֹ, וְאֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם תַּשְׁלוּמֵי כֶפֶל וְתַשְׁלוּמֵי אַרְבָּעָה וַחֲמִשָּׁה. הֵמִית שׁוֹרִי אֶת פְּלוֹנִי אוֹ שׁוֹרוֹ שֶׁל פְּלוֹנִי, הֲרֵי זֶה מְשַׁלֵּם עַל פִּי עַצְמוֹ. הֵמִית שׁוֹרִי עַבְדּוֹ שֶׁל פְּלוֹנִי, אֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם עַל פִּי עַצְמוֹ. זֶה הַכְּלָל כָּל הַמְשַׁלֵּם יָתֵר עַל מַה שֶּׁהִזִּיק, אֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם עַל פִּי עַצְמוֹ:

If one said: I seduced that man's daughter, he pays bosheth and p'gam by his own testimony [Not only if he says: I forced her, where he does not injure her that much, the la'az ("ill report") of one who was forced not being that great — not only in such an instance does he pay by his own testimony; but even if he says: I seduced her, where he injures her more, the la'az of one who was seduced being great, so that we might think we do not believe him to strengthen the la'az — we nevertheless say that she would prefer this (that he be believed) in order to gain the money thereby.], and he does not pay knass. [For one who admits to knass is exempt from it, it being written (Exodus 22:8): "Whom the judges incriminate shall pay double" — to exclude one who incriminates himself.] If one says: I stole, I slaughtered, and I sold, he pays the principal (keren) by his own testimony, but he does not pay the double payment (kefel) and the "four and five" payment. (If he says:) My ox killed that man [and I owe kofer (the "ransom" payment), he pays by his own testimony, it being held that kofer is monetary payment (and not knass)], or (if he says: My ox killed) that man's ox, he pays by his own testimony. (If he says:) My ox killed that man's bondsman [and I owe thirty sela], he does not pay by his own testimony, [for it (thirty sela) is knass, thirty sela being given even if he is not worth one sela.]
