There are nonviolent and violent. If a couple is in bed, the husband performs an act over slight protest while the wife is not fully awake. Is it considered "rape" if she is angry with him for it in the morning? That happens in marriages sometimes between a husband and wife. If it is an obvious violent sexual assault/rape, then, yes. It should certainly be as severely punished as a nonmarital offense. Every situation is different.
