No, “taphas” means capturing by manipulation (stratagem

That's not what your link said. It said taphas comes from the root for manipulation, capture, seize, hold, stop, surprise... manipulation is only one of the WAYS you can capture.

The proof is in the fact that there is no verse anywhere that indicates that the sentence for raping an unbetrothed virgin is different than the sentence for seducing her. It's all covered under "marry her" because it's all the same to them.

If this is not the case prove it. Don't "infer" ... show me. For the third time, show me where it differentiates between raping an UNBETROTHED virgin and seducing one.

That’s precisely what my link said. Trying to redefine “taphas” by another meaning of “capture” (which has multiple meanings; the dictionary definition made that clear) when it only has one meaning of that word is intellectually dishonest; you cannot make “khazaq” become a synonym of “taphas” by a dishonest and utterly inaccurate backtranslation.

You yourself do not possess proof that the penalty for violent sexual assault by a male on any female no matter her status of betrothal, even by everything written in Deuteronomy 22, is anything but death. And again, using modern definitions of “rape” is also bad backtranslation, even into English.
