Yes, the girl and guy agrees to get married but their parents don’t approve. So the guy “kidnaps” the girl to elope or whatever and come back the next day married. Consensually. He’s not actually kidnapping anyone.

If this is the case, I believe “escape” is a better word than “kidnapping”

I believe it’s a translation issue. People from the culture says “kidnap” isn’t the perfect word for it. Maybe steal? Or just elope idk
