They don't seem to have a word for it in the bible. Rather they describe it other words (something like "take by force").
It's condemned a little bit. You have to pay the father of your victim and marry the victim. The problem is that it completely ignores the perspective of the victim because women don't really have a say, in general, in the bible.
