If a nun was raped and she enjoyed it, does it cause an offence for the nun?
If a nun was raped and she did not enjoy it, does it cause an offence for the nun?
I would rather speak in terms of bhikkhus because bhikkhunis do not exist in classical theravada. However, monks can get raped and have been raped.
Enjoyment are factors for full offense. It is an unfair situation but that is the rule. If he did not enjoy, then it is not an offense.
A bhikkhuni is defeated even by allowing the touching below the collar bone and above the knees.
The bhikkhuni incurs a sanghadisesa offense if she travels alone, sleeps alone or crosses a river alone for her own protection. I know of one case of a monk in the past 20 years who was raped and disrobed. What more could be said about women nuns doing the same while traveling and living in a van and breaking sanghadisesa rules?
