Gabriel's words informed Mary that God had declared she would carry the Christ child to term.They sought her consent. Despite the dim and rather creepy musings of the autocratic French lawyer Jean Cauvin, the Holy Spirit is not a rapist.

They sought her consent. That is not Scriptural.
God informed Paul. God informed Noah. God informed Moses. God informed Abraham. God informed Elizabeth. God informed Mary.
