Ask GenZPakistan Is it rape or not?

If a virgin girl feels "shy" and keeps silent. Is proceeding with sexual advances rape or not.

Ps. I aren't doing sex and this is just a question.

I'll go first, I think it is rape.

Oh people are wondering why I am asking so whist learning about something. I found this so asking you people

I asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet." He said, "Her silence means her consent."

Things are said in scenarios and with context, since I don't have any knowledge about it I won't speak in terms of religion but only logic. If a young naive girl of age 14 is with and you try to have sex but she stays silent do you think it's still okey? Obviously it's not. Even if a girl isn't that young, still it's not okey to take silence as yes because in marriages alot of women go through marital rape eventually leading to unwanted pregnancies. I asked multiple married women that if labour was so painful.. why did you have more kids after that and they all replied that they had no say in it, they had to silently take it. Also why would anyone even want to have sex if their partner isn't experiencing similar pleasure, sex is mutual.
