God ordained the death penalty for rape?

Yes, He did. You must have missed that part.

No, the death penalty was for adultery. If you raped a virgin who was not betrothed, all you had to do was marry her. If you had sex with a married woman, both man and woman were put to death. If the woman could convince them she was raped, she would be spared, but his punishment didn’t change because it was rape.
