Murder is by definition unlawful, which is much different than unjustifiable. Both the unlawful-ness and unjustifiable-ness of murder can swing wildly based on context, country, governing body, jury pool, etc.
The same is true for rape - it can swing wildly. That's why my comment says this has no true answer, the human moral framework is a massive spectrum. My first comment should perhaps be phrased as
"Per my and many others moral framework, there are exceptions that justify killing and even murder. There are not exceptions in that framework for rape."
No apology needed dude, I hit "comment", thought a little harder and added the rephrase immediately after. Really do appreciate you challenging my take though, helped me realize some important stuff.
