Audio by Rabbi Avrohom Zucker

What is [the compensation that is paid for] indignity? All depends on the status of the offender and the offended. [As to] blemish, she is regarded as if she were a bond woman to be sold in the market place [and it is estimated] how much she was worth and how much she is worth now. 
The statutory fine is the same for all, and any sum that is fixed Pentateuchally remains the same for all.

 כתובות 3.7 
ואיזו היא בושת, הכול לפי המבייש והמתבייש׃ פגם, רואין אותה כאילו היא שפחה נמכרת-- כמה הייתה יפה, וכמה היא יפה׃ קנס, שווה לכל אדם; וכל שיש לו קצבה מן התורה, שווה לכל אדם

Wherever the right of sale applies no fine is incurred and wherever a fine is incurred no right of sale applies. In the case of a minor the right of sale applies but no fine is incurred; in the case of a damsel a fine is incurred but no right of sale applies. To a damsel who is adolescent the right of sale does not apply nor is a fine incurred through her.

 כתובות 3.8 
כל מקום שיש מכר, אין קנס; וכל מקום שיש קנס, אין מכר׃ קטנה-- יש לה מכר, ואין לה קנס; נערה-- יש לה קנס, ואין לה מכר׃ בוגרת-- לא מכר, ולא קנס
