Of course. Her marriage to Joseph was arranged (per the custom of the day) and she resented him. Getting preggers from God would surely bring Joseph much shame and embarrassment.

Mary was a "willing vessel" for god. Mmmhhm, OK.
If god made Adam of clay, why would he need to bother with Mary at all? Oh yeah, he had to comply with the prophecy that the Messiah was born from a virgin. Funny how Jesus fit into that prophecy so neatly.

God chose Mary because he knew her heart. He knew Mary would accept it.

Just a good old-fashioned rape.
But, bible-god mass-murdered an entire planet with a flood, so rape of one person doesn't really compare to the rest.

according to the bible he did. She was told by an angel and she accepted it so yes that would count as consent.

Mary was probably following God before that so He didn't need her permission. He just needed a willing vessel to use and she probably had already told Him she would be a vessel He could use for whatever His purpose was.

If not you can get a good christian lawyer to prove it was implied consent.

Of course! One of the most awsome events of all time was that she said "YES!"

"Be it done unto me according to Thy word" sounds like it to me.
