Per Merriam-Webster rape is:
unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will

The dictionary definition you cite contradicts what you wrote below it. "Unlawful" intercourse means sex outside of marriage. It has no other meaning. If it's both forcible and unlawful, it's rape.
