Use of Force, Threat, or Coercion:
- Rape can involve physical force, threats, or psychological coercion.
- Even an unsuccessful attempt with intent to rape falls under the legal framework.
Sexual Penetration:
- Modern laws consider any form of penetration (even mild) as rape.
- Discharge of ejaculation is not necessary for an act to be classified as rape.
