Is forcing the wife to have sexual relations regarded as rape?

Q: With all due respect, I would like to ask if a wife is not in condition (emotionally or physically) to have intercourse with husband. Can a husband still have intercourse even if it looks like a rape or if husband is angry and does the action forcefully without any consent or willingness of wife. What does shariah say about it. 

A: This is not rape.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
