Why put "kidnap" in quotes, it's not as if it's a wild claim?

It certainly wasn't lawful in Venezuela, where I believe the kidnapping occurred.

    because it actually is a "wifenab" or wifenap but the word doesn't exist.

    it was not a political choice but a linguistic (non)sensibility

    What? Kidnapping doesn’t only happen to kids, adults can be kidnapped as well. Also if you are dead set on calling it something else it would just be abducted, like she’s a whole person not just a wife.

    yes, "abducted" is surely a better word choice but my comment was a reply to the title. so i used the same word and put it in quotation marks.

    Now… why did they abduct a "whole other person" who is Nicolás Maduro's wife?
