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?

Kidnapped had been the appropriate word choice since the mid-1800’s at least.

not sure why we are arguing about word choice? if you understand the intent, just move on.. why be critical?
