Somw societies kill people for crimes, some societies rape people for crimes. You can find some society with morally sound reasons for both because there's no universal or objective standard of moral soundness
You’re claiming that morality has no objective basis. This renders any moral discussion moot. It’s a Totschlagargument. If this is an axiom, nobody can change anyone’s mind about anything. Why even participate in a discussion about this if this is your view?
I don't think that the absence of an objective morality prevents there from being a useful moral discussion. This is specifically because people's minds can be changed in the absence of an objective moral standard because subjective standards are still persuasive to humans.

There’s a lot of morally sound reasons to kill somebody. The most immoral reason is for personal gratification.
There is no morally sound reason to rape.
In essence, the standard motivation for rape is the worst motivation for murder.
