If you read the other translations of that verse that describe the horrible incident , the other translations are "they took her by force " , so they essentially kidnapped her.

What an ugly verse. Why did he murder her? Why did he cut her into pieces? Why did he allow her to be raped all night? What was the point of this horrific story?
