Reference for Arakhin 3:4
בָּאוֹנֵס וּבַמְפַתֶּה לְהָקֵל וּלְהַחֲמִיר. כֵּיצַד. אֶחָד שֶׁאָנַס וּפִתָּה אֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה שֶׁבַּכְּהֻנָּה וְאֶת הַקְּטַנָּה שֶׁבְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, נוֹתֵן חֲמִשִּׁים סֶלַע. וְהַבּשֶׁת וְהַפְּגָם, הַכֹּל לְפִי הַמְבַיֵּשׁ וְהַמִּתְבַּיֵּשׁ:
The law of the rapist and seducer is sometimes lenient and sometimes strict. How so? Whether he raped or seduced a girl from among the best of the priestly stock or the humblest in Israel, he must pay fifty <i>selaim</i>. But compensation for shaming and for blemish is [assessed] according to the [circumstances] of the one who shames and of the one who suffers the shame.
