There should be a word for forcing other people to have sex (with each other, not yourself). The connotations of calling a forced arranged marriage 'rapey' should be offensive to the victims. It is grossly unfair to imply that the wife is a 'rapist' just because her husband's father forced his son to marry her for his family's political gain. (Or vice-versa.)
I wasn't specifying who was being rapey. Just that the entire setup was rapey.
That was clear and my reply applies.
(The person to whom the <word that is not rapist> applies is the person who forces the marriage. Rape(y/ist) would also apply if that person was also a participant in the marriage.)
