So I’ll ask again ... in which verse does it specifically say that the violent rape of a NON-BETROTHED woman ends in the perpetrator’s death? You know, something that differentiates not between whether she’s betrothed or not, but whether it was by force or not. (Although it’s clear that Taphas does include rape, and how you can deny it when it is YOU who gave me that link, I do not know.)

The case is not indicated. Nor did anyone claim it was. One can infer that “shakab” by “khazaq” (violent rape) carries the death penalty for the male alone even if perpetrated on an unbetrothed virgin, or even a married woman (another case not specified in Deuteronomy chapter 22).

It’s not at all clear that “taphas includes rape” of the kind indicated by “khazaq”, but it indicates statutory rape by definition of US law, certainly. It is clear that “khazaq” indicates violent rape.
