What's the legal status of having non-consensual relationships (raping) of one's wife in Judaism?

The Gemorah in Nedorim 20b brings a list of 9/10 "warnings"/"prohibitions" on sexual relationships with one's wife, rape being the first. Ra"n adds in place that such relations are a sort of transgression, but not a clear one. Does a woman have any case in complaining before a Beis Din, and can the Bais Din punish or take measures against the husband?
