[no spoilers] what’s up with the rape scenes in the show?

Why are there so many rape scenes that weren’t in the book?

I’m watching Game of Thrones for the first time after having read the books a while ago.

I just think it’s kind of strange that there are a number of rape scenes in the show that aren’t mentioned anywhere in the book.

I also think it’s strange, while it’s common in the book to kind of mention that rape happens, that the show decides to show it in graphic detail.

Is there something I’m missing here? Why are made up rape scenes necessary? Why are graphic rape scenes necessary?
