Even if it was an “elopement” in her eyes it’s still a kidnapping because she was only what? 14? Plus I still find it hard to believe she’d run off with that smelly bum. She must have been very desperate. I’ve know teen girls to do stupid things but this stupid? Plus how stupid was the sister that she went along with the plan? They were against their parents that much?
Have you read ”A High Wind in Jamaica”?
And yes, I know that legally it was a kidnapping, but she cooperated. He seduced her via religion - she thought.he was a saint.
