What is the crime against rape in Islam?

Does Islamic law allow men to get away with rape? If a woman brings an accusation of rape against a man and is unable to prove that she was forced, will she be charged with fornication/adultery?

Of course not. Under Islamic Law, Rape is a crime of hiraba not of fornication. A woman who kills her rapist has committed a lawful act of self-defense and will not be charged with homicide. If she dies while fighting her rapist, she is considered a martyr.
