The point was that rape IS discussed in the Bible as a separate entity from extramarital sex.

Aye it is.
Dinah perhaps? (Internet bibles ftw)
She was raped, her rapist asked his dad to arrange for them to get married (I think the Red Tent presents their relationship as love, not rape.) Since they raped Dinah, Jacob and sons said "oh sure, as long as your entire city converts, and gets circumcised." Which they do. Then while all the men are holding their junk in pain they kill all the men in the city.
They rescued Dinah. Rabbinical tradition also has interesting takes on Dinah but I'm not familiar enough with them to speak to them myself.
