Commentary for Makkot 29:4

אמר עולא לא יאמר לו תהיה לאשה באונס וליגמר ממוציא שם רע ומה מוציא שם רע שלא עשה מעשה אמר רחמנא (דברים כב, יט) ולו תהיה לאשה אונס לא כל שכן

Ullah said [a possible resolution] [The Torah] need not have said "she should be to him for a wife" by Oneis, and it could have been derived from Motzei Shem Rah. And if by the case of Motzei Shem Rah where no action was performed, the Torah says (Deutermany 22,19) "She should be to him for a wife", then by Oneis [which does involve an action] is it not even more so?
