cellioThe torah (in D'varim 22) talks about the case of a man who marries a
maiden, hates her, and goes the next morning to her father and says she
was not a virgin, and the father objects. They bring out "the signs"
(the bedding), and if his words are found to be not true, he is fined
100 pieces of silver for bringing an evil name upon her. Today's g'mara
talks about this case, saying that he is always flogged as a penalty for
tale-bearing (bringing an evil name upon her). However, the payment of
the fine depends on them having actually had relations; if they did and
he's lying then he is flogged and pays the fine, but if they didn't
-- if his claim is based instead on witnesses -- then he doesn't pay the
fine but he is still flogged. (45b)
We learned previously of a case where a fine isn't owed on top of a death penalty (the latter punishment suffices), but that doesn't seem to apply here -- execution precludes a fine but flogging doesn't, at least in some cases. I don't know these laws very well, sorry.
