This is an ongoing 'concern' in some of the groups.

The existence of curses that force people to do what you wish...
and other curses that make you forget what has recently
occurred... plus the love potions etc that exist make it a
very 'iffy' area to get into.

The general assumption has been made... with no proof
whatsoever... is that there is some way in which the MoM can
determine if spells have been put to bad use. It's an ongoing
problem with the discussions of ethics and morals the magical
world.

I seriously doubt JKR would even consider putting into the last
book any such thread. Was this an adult series then there is every
possibility that this might have made an appearance...

... but like it or not theses are in theory at least books aimed at
children and as such any attempt to follow a thread like that would
have been instantly rejected by the publishers.

Basically then, your answer is and emphatic *no*.

I agree that JKR will maintain the current tone in terms of not
containing any explicit sexuality, forced or otherwise. Apart from
that, however, you are being a bit too emphatic.

Remember, Riddle Sr. has already sired Riddle Jr. while "magically
enslaved" (DD's phrase) by Merope.

Ron has already had a narrow escape from Romilda Vane. We don't know
her precise intentions, but this is clearly meant as a form of magical
coercion used in a romantic context.

In Book 5, Harry wonders whether his father somehow forced his mother
to marry him.

I expect that the theme of -- let's call it "romantic coercion" -- may
be further explored. But, as in the past, if it is clear that sexual
intercourse actually occurred, it will only be because a child
resulted from the union.
