The Bible:
In the Book of Genesis, the old and barren Sarah asks her husband Abraham to have a child with her slave Hagar, resulting in the birth of Ishmael. Considering that Sarah has authority over her servant, one can question whether or not Hagar was ok with the arrangement as the text never says that she was consulted for her consent.
David's affair with Bathsheba in the Books of Samuel. The facts that we know: David was on his palace roof when he saw her bathing nearby. He fell in lust with her and they slept together, even though she was married to David's general, Uriah. There are some people who will insist Bathsheba must have been trying to catch his eye if she was bathing where he could see her, some who will insist that David raped her, but the Biblical text leaves these details to your imagination.
Likewise, Absalom's going into his father David's ten concubines during his act of sedition against his father later on in 2nd Samuel can fall under this, as the concubines have little to no say of whether they would want to sleep with Absalom under such duress.
Many modern readers find the circumstances surrounding Mary's Mystical Pregnancy uncomfortable, even going so far as to call it rape, even though there was no actual sex involved. They question whether a mortal could truly give free consent when a deity requests to impregnate them. They also point out that Mary was most likely anywhere from 13-16 years old, and therefore would be considered a minor in our time. (Though she would have been considered an adult in her era.) On the other hand, the fact that God waited for her to give the okay before impregnating her, would, given the treatment of women in her society, have been downright Fair for Its Day.
In Celtic Mythology, Aífe attacks her rival (and sister, Depending on the Writer) Scáthach. Scáthach's student Cú Chulainn jumps into the fight and eventually has Aífe begging for her life. Cú Chulainn agrees to spare her under two conditions—she drops her beef with Scáthach and also bears him a son, to which she agrees. Also, Cú Chulainn was apparently ten when this happened?note

Franz Werfel in Star Of The Unborn depicts a far future in which science and theology have been unified by Ursler's Fundamental Paradoxes. The Principle of the Infinitely Mobile Central Point of All Conceivable Orbits has established that the Earth really IS, in some way, the center of the universe, and the official Uranographer moves the stars around every night to spell out the day's news. This actually makes some sense in that statements like "the earth goes around the sun", or vice versa, imply that there is some absolute frame of reference.
The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster claims that "gravity" is actually the Flying Spaghetti Monster gently pushing us down with his noodly appendages. This theory is supported by the fact that people are taller now than during the stone age, and also more numerous: Clearly there is less gravity for each of us these days, and thus we grow taller.
Invoked by Charles Darwin in an essay 1842: What would the Astronomer say to the doctrine that the planets moved (not) according to the law of gravitation, but from the Creator having willed each separate planet to move in its particular orbit?
In Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slapstick, the protagonist and his sister theorize that gravity was once variable, which is how the Pyramids in Egypt were built. This turns out to be true when their theory is used by the Chinese to change gravity back to how it used to be. From that point on it varies daily.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy holds that learning to fly is a fairly simple manner. All one has to do is throw oneself at the ground... and miss, at which point physics will happily ignore what you're doing as long as you yourself don't think about it too hard. Several characters successfully achieve flight in this manner. It's pointed out in analysis that, From a Certain Point of View, this is actually true: being in orbit is literally a case of moving so quickly horizontally that you keep missing the ground while falling.
1984: As O'Brien puts it, "I could be floating in front of you right now if I wish it. Right now I do not wish it, because it does not suit the Party."

This actually makes some sense in that statements like "the earth goes around the sun", or vice versa, imply that there is some absolute frame of reference.
The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster claims that "gravity" is actually the Flying Spaghetti Monster gently pushing us down with his noodly appendages. This theory is supported by the fact that people are taller now than during the stone age, and also more numerous: Clearly there is less gravity for each of us these days, and thus we grow taller.
Invoked by Charles Darwin in an essay 1842: What would the Astronomer say to the doctrine that the planets moved (not) according to the law of gravitation, but from the Creator having willed each separate planet to move in its particular orbit?
In Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slapstick, the protagonist and his sister theorize that gravity was once variable, which is how the Pyramids in Egypt were built. This turns out to be true when their theory is used by the Chinese to change gravity back to how it used to be. From that point on it varies daily.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy holds that learning to fly is a fairly simple manner. All one has to do is throw oneself at the ground... and miss, at which point physics will happily ignore what you're doing as long as you yourself don't think about it too hard. Several characters successfully achieve flight in this manner. It's pointed out in analysis that, From a Certain Point of View, this is actually true: being in orbit is literally a case of moving so quickly horizontally that you keep missing the ground while falling.
1984: As O'Brien puts it, "I could be floating in front of you right now if I wish it. Right now I do not wish it, because it does not suit the Party."

Franz Werfel in Star Of The Unborn depicts a far future in which science and theology have been unified by Ursler's Fundamental Paradoxes. The Principle of the Infinitely Mobile Central Point of All Conceivable Orbits has established that the Earth really IS, in some way, the center of the universe, and the official Uranographer moves the stars around every night to spell out the day's news. This actually makes some sense in that statements like "the earth goes around the sun", or vice versa, imply that there is some absolute frame of reference.
