They were not, and that’s not what it says, but you’re welcome to twist it however you like to believe differently - same as people do with the Bible.
If someone came up to your mom/sister/daughter and said “There’s a hidden sniper with his rifle trained on you right now. Marry me and stay loyal, or else he’ll shoot you” then you wouldn’t consider that to be rape? I most certainly would. Whenever you threaten someone with violence for refusing a sexual relationship, that is rape.
