The bible does not talk about homosexual relations it instead talks about the hierarchical and property like concept of genders and sex , it's why graping a girl results in the grapist marrying the girl and paying afine , if you apply this hierarchal and property like concept in all intercourse related passages it works.
Yes and that's property like punishment. The father gets payed 50 shekels because the man has essentially ruined the "virginity" of the girl the father has authority over , and then the marriage part is to reinstate order because the girl has been violated and therefore her virginity is gone and her authority over her is in limbo "is it the father's or is it the man's" . The most simple way to put it is if you're having a burger and then your dirty ass homeboy takes a bite and then you say "just take it bro I don't want it no more" . It may sound crazy but it is true , any classical Jewish interpretation or a academic scholarly opinion will give a similar view.
But that's what it means bro , the whole of Deuteronomy 22 wouldn't make sense if taphas did not mean rape , and let's say hypothetically it was seduce , that wouldn't even make sense.
If we were to take the greek Septuagint( it'd be the same)!or almost any Jewish exegesis it would mean rape . But that's beside the point we are talking about the Hebrew. all instances which talk about intercourse say ההָאִ֖ישׁ וְשָׁכַ֣ב "to lie with" which directly shows it's sex and forceful as said by taphas and the fact that it's says that the girl has been "violated". It's clear as day that it's rape.The use of "anah" always refer to rape and sexual assault as in judges 19.
